Springtime Snow

Just a few more snowy pictures for our friends and family members who are enjoying warmer climates.

I think we're all ready for Spring to get here and stay here! But I have to say that while the snow was wet and heavy and not fun to shovel, it sure was pretty.

The melting has already started, and with temperatures heading for the 60's in the next two days, the snow won't be here much longer.

Peeps meeting

The regular monthly meeting of the Art Quilt People was a busy one with lots of new work to look at.

The group is getting new work ready for an upcoming exhibit in May in Newark at the Wayne County Arts Council.

It was fun to see work pinned to every available space all around the room.

We had a chance to hear from each person about the piece or pieces they made.

Anne explained what inspired her pieces.

Pat made this class sample for a new class she's offering that incorporates leaf shapes and skinny lines.

March blizzard

Each year March brings at least one, if not several, snow and/or ice events.

This year's contribution arrived right on schedule -- very near the infamous Ides of March!

These pictures represent the cold, clear aftermath day that followed. This one is looking East out of the studio door and spying "snow cones" on the propane tanks and some evergreen bushes.

Here we see the frozen pond off the deck. We do have goldfish here, and a heater keeps open a small patch of water just out of the picture to the right.

The path to the barn seems long this time of the year. Our feral barn cat expects two meals a day regardless of weather. The shoveling is done by the better half of this couple, and you will have to guess who this might be!

The front of the house shows more covers of white. We think we had about 1 1/2 feet of snow yesterday. We hope Spring will soon be here and this long, cold winter will join the record book of infamy!

Nancy's home

Our friend and fellow Peep member has recently returned from a very exciting trip to mainland China.

She has been engaged as a consultant to a group of investors who are interested in starting a new private school in Nanjimg.

She described the many formal meetings she attended with local educators, financial people, and local political figures. She was asked to dress like a principal and was given these business cards (including the one in Chinese!).

Nancy has a wonderful attitude about education in general and the learning potential of all students. They are lucky to have her on board!!
