Yesterday was Groundhog Day, and the news from our furry February friend is that there will indeed be six more weeks of winter. I’m not too concerned about this; at least not as concerned as I would have been a day or two ago. Our air shipment has finally arrived! We now have sweatshirts, socks, pajamas, slippers, boots and coats enough to last us until spring comes. We even have robes and sandals to wear on the long, chilly walk to the indoor pool and back. Best of all, I have enough fabric to keep me occupied until the daffodils and tulips are blooming again. Like Treasure Island’s Jim Hawkins eating apples to make a long ocean voyage seem shorter, I can shorten the tedious end of winter by stitching these four quilt tops together. By the time I’m done, I’ll be back with my own furniture in my own house, watching the grass grow greener every day!
