A short visit

Does this look like the middle of February?

The trees are budding, daffodils are blooming, and look at this flowering quince...

  

The days are beautiful, but I'm scared to death winter will return and kill everything.

I fought the wind and raked leaves again today. Would you look at the size of this leaf that blew in and made itself at home...

Sometimes I think the leaves are watching me, trying to drive me crazy, or maybe they already have, driven me crazy. This big one keeps following me around. :(

lurking behind the flowers...revenge of the giant oak leaf.

Walmart had these teeny tiny pet beds for $5.47, so I brought one home for Weetie's little spot on the couch. 

but look who else likes the bed.

Did you see all the scratches on the leather couch? Eli does that. The whole big couch needs going over with a rich leather conditioner. I just may start on that project tomorrow. 

Here it is bedtime folks. Where do the days go? I will be around to visit and catch up. Thank you, if you're still here...

Oh, I've almost finished the doll dress...

To me, it looks a little big. Maybe I need to press the dress better and I still need to put snaps on the sleeves. Anyhow, at least she has a dress.

Love,
Henny
