You can tell every quilter in western new york has cabin fever. Our quilt shop had a class the other day and 40 girls attended. The rest were turned away because of no space.

I live in northern Michigan. Lots of bitter cold weather, less snow than last year. I love the snow until the middle of March then am ready for it to be gone. I figure to expect some snow may fall until the middle of May. We never plant our flowers til June when the risk of frost has lessened: learned this the first summer we lived here. I love winters here, however it was better this year as I retired last spring so no getting up at 530 to be to work by 7.

We lived all over with the AIR FORCE,,,,then retirement back home to the Sunny South. Well not so much right now.we are ready to complain about the Heat.lol Spring is coming,spring is coming, .

We just got more snow and it is supposed to snow during the day, too. I think we already have more than the rest of the winter.

Here in SW MN we've had our share of COLD weather, but not so much snow...due for snow tonight/tomorrow morning, cold again on Wednesday, but by the weekend, temps in the 40's, and above average next week. Really no rhyme/reason to a lot of this weather. As for quilting, I had back surgery in January, and once able to sit for longer periods, I have had a ball at my sewing machine with doing smaller quilt tops. I have one more small one to complete, then my next goal is to finish a couple of t-shirt quilts. (By profession, I am an LPN, but resigned my position where I had worked. It is a facility for handicapped adults, and can be physically taxing; did not want to risk undoing the repair work that has been done.)

Y'all have my greatest sympathy. This hothouse flower spent the past weekend doing an outdoor show (booth had open doors on three sides) in just barely above freezing alternately windy/rainy weather. Think I'm crazier than I ever thought I was!!! Especially since most of our potential customers were smart enough to stay home where it was warm.
