Spring Musings Birds have started to migrate back North, snow has melted, and the longer days have ushered in the much needed Spring sunshine. I've always loved what Spring represents, metaphorically: the planting of seeds, new beginnings, spring cleaning. If you have found yourself downsizing or are looking to donate a quilt or two, Valley Senior Living Foundation, located in Grand Forks, is accepting quilt donations for their first annual quilt auction. Feel free to scan the QR code to learn more on how you can get involved. As for me, I'll be starting a few new projects inbetween spring cleaning and wedding prep. I'm looking forward to all that's to come! |
