Oh my - oh my - oh My.  It's about the weather around here.  One day there's 5" of snow, then it's 60, now we're back to icy rain.  And somehow, some way, my brave little garden struggles through it all to bring me joy and beauty.  

Every morning I get up, put the coffee on and then take the dogs on a walk to fill the bird feeders outside.  This accomplishes 3 things.  It feeds the birds so I can watch them as I do my morning chores in the kitchen.  It also assures that my spoiled bulldog will go outside even if it's cold or wet or hot or whatever.  And at this time of year I always take a detour through my garden to see what new is green and growing. 

 And as usual what is going on in my life get's translated into my quilts.  This is Cottage Garden, a new pattern and kit we're offering out of my new Harmony fabric line for Moda.  Time to go for my evening walk.  And I'd better cover my few flowers that are blooming.  It's supposed to be 24 tonight.
