On Friday it was 80 degrees, sunny and very windy.
I spent the day clearing out old dried up branches, stems and leaves from the awakening garden.
I practiced felting a scarf made from Navajo Churro fleece with a base of merino wool. These pictures are bad, but the fleece scarf is shaggy, curly and beautiful.
Today is cold, snowy and fresh.

Yesterday evening's moon, rising softly in the east.
A little later there was a ring around it with snow clouds moving in.
This morning the clematis is furred with flakes.
The geese are visiting the schoolyard.
Overdyeing some marigold yellow threads with indigo.

Morning sun and snow on the garage
A couple days later...the roof caved in and the sides fell out! Not very surprising, but still amazing.....Called the insurance company. We'll see what's next.
Indoors, the orchids are happy. This lovely slipper orchid has been in the family for at least 15 years. I've decided to make myself like and learn about orchids, even though they're weird, stiff, and can be expensive.
These moth orchids are new from the grocery store.

Morning moon setting in the west on February 12.
Later that day there was snow. I went out with the camera and a cup of tea and found this handsome guy waiting on the neighbor's back porch.
Maybe there'll be more snow this evening.
Patience.
November
Snow began to fall on Halloween morning.
The leaves have started falling , creating a lovely carpet under the serviceberry. (Never mind the bits of trash....:)
In just one day the world seems to change!

April is the change-iest month! This is how things looked last Sunday.
Cold woad plant
Poor daffodils
Chilly scilla
T Today the serviceberry is about to bloom.
And the daffodils are fine!
Still cold
It's still cold here without the occasional warm days. In spite of this, the brave daffodils, tulips, scilla are holding on. Some are even blooming.
Scilla
For the first time in ages, I'm growing sweet peas. Thought they are prefer cool temperatures, I don't think they'd like to be outdoors in 20 degrees and ice.
