i'm glad you enjoyed that little news snippet. when i was reading the headlines yesterday morning. that caught my eye - so just had to read it. sitting here cracking up sent it to dh and mil and decided to post here in ohio too. i thought wow...that is just what we need to take away the harsh edge of the weather reality for some of us. we usually get late spring snow here, none since jan...they are in the passes around us this weekend. and unusual for this time of year...heavy snow in seattle and other coastal areas. our snow pack is ok, but for most of the west it is too low. but in the valley here..they are already filling the irrigation canals, no measurable precipitation in last couple of months.. and worrying about the warmer than normal temps ..fast melt in the high country.. this is the major ag income area for the state of washington...weird winter. weird spring..so..the moment of phil levity was a welcome change from the dire prognostications of drought and flood and on and on and on .....

hope you are having a little sunshine this weekend :)) we did yesterday..and no WINDS!! yay...well...a little but i could stand up in it lollol!!

lol Rogue- I have always thought that if the groundhog doesn't see his shadow, the only thing it means is that the sky is cloudy.  Crazy that people are calling that poor rodent a liar and holding him responsible. I truly hope they all are just trying to be funny. This cold early spring is much better than last ear when we had record highs in the mid 80's! You can always put on more clothes ( or cover up with more quilts.) There are only so many clothes we can take off before someone is calling the cops.

ok, i have spent a winter in ohio that had the lowest timperatures & the lowest wind chill temperatures in the, at that time, 180yrs of temperature record keeping. we had a lot of snow that year too. i have pictures from pensylvania of our then, local fire station where we were living a few years later. they had the annual easter egg hunt notice up for that weekend of march 30. which was a bit of a difficult read with the depth of the snow around the base. course that had been a bad winter too. one storm alone dumped 34 inches of snow around our house...on the flat..no drifts.

so..i understand the importance of phill's weather/spring arival predictions. but this, i think, may be a bit of an extreme reaction to the poor little furry rodent's erroneous forecast for this spring. come on Ohio...lighten up! the death penalty!?! lollol

Hey Lisa, how's life going? How was your sister's wedding? Things slowing down any? Perhaps there's still a small chance of getting together?

Just catching up on posts since I haven't been on this site for quite awhile.  I have finally finished my hand quilting on my latest scrap quilt.  Now all that is left is to put on the binding and hand sew it down.  I am one of the few who enjoy this step in the quilt process.  ONe of my granddaughters was here for a few days last weekend and we did some sewing and selecting of fabric for a quilt that she wants me to make. So we stitched up a pillow cover in the color and style of the quilt I will make for her.  Got the quilting frame out of the sun room and the room cleaned and back to normal. Boy that feels good.  WE are off for an afternoon trip to Bear Creek Farms in IN with my best friend and her husband.  Looking for quilting shops along the way is in our plan.  WE have been to several shops just over the IN line,  but we have our spouses going and they aren't into fabric as much as Diane and I are. And besides, I really don't need to bring more fabric into my house.  I am trying tu use up what I have.

HI Ruth- I am not finding your message about being in Beavercreek on here but it showed up in my email. Welcome. I live in Moraine. We have a nice little group of quilters that meet at the Moraine Civic Center, Mondays and Thurs. evenings. We are off for the summer, but start back in Sept. Let me know if you need a group of women to quilt with!

Sherri, sounds great. Let me know when you have your "mom-sitter". How long does it take for you to get here? Been trying to get our friend Carol V. to come over too. It would be fantastic if you both came at the same time. I have 1 quilty friend who would love to meet other quilters if she's not working her 12 hr shifts as a nurse. I haven't seen her much lately because she's been working nights. But maybe she can work her schedule around the day we get together. I look forward to seeing you.

Linda, I would love to get together with a few of you ladies.  I am several hours away though in NW part of the state.  Maybe at some future date.  Right now my mom who is 93 lives with us and I cannot leave for the day and put that responsibility on my husband.  But if I can find a day when my daughter would be available to "mom-sit"  I would love to drive up to visit with you and any other quilters who would enjoy a gab fest...
