"The stormy March has come at last, With winds and clouds and changing skies; I hear the rushing of the blast that through the snowy valley flies." William C. Bryant
Goodness, that quote is ever so accurate, here in Vermont, as March begins. Our snowy Winter has finally come to stay for a while. We've had snow almost daily and have had to plow & shovel more, in the last three weeks, than another other time since Winter began! It is quite enjoyable to see the snow falling softly as the birds twitter and talk of Spring. We've another fairly large storm arriving tomorrow evening :).
I want to thank you all for your emails and messages while I've been under the weather. I've not had such a bad cold in a very long time (thank goodness) but I am finally feeling like I am over the worst of it and headed in the right direction. Now if I could just get rid of this cough :(...
Until next time ~ Wishing you JOY, Doreen
~Tucked in a valley, at the foot of Round Mountain, among the graceful Maples & Oaks you will find our Little Brown House. Smoke billows from the chimney seven (sometimes eight) months out of the year, a river rambles nearby, sheep & Cows graze in the meadows and turkey's forage along the olde stone walls. Here you will find me...surrounded by wool & cotton threads, hoops & needles on my lap & sketchpads scattered about.~ This is Vermont Harvest Folk Art.
