February 2018
Happy Valentine's everyone. We have spring bulbs popping up in our yard suggesting Spring is on the way! I don't want to get too excited, though. I recall that we had a bit of snow in February last year, so we might experience more winter weather yet! It is so nice to have a few more weeks to wear all our fabulous hand knitted accessories.
