These three little pals relax with us by the fire as we peruse seed catalogs, gaze out at the winter garden, and design the spring garden plan in our minds. Like us, they seem to fall under the spell of the small birds playing just beyond the window on these very crisp, sunny winter days. The blue sky teases us into thinking we can go into the garden and dig. But in truth, the ground is frozen!
There are crocus up, standing about an inch tall, just thinking about sending up their fragile flowers. And daffodils, bunched here and there, the green tops sending out a message of hope.
Meanwhile, we clean house, again and again, striving to rid each room of the dri-wall dust, sawdust, and general construction grubbiness of the past months. Sweet memories fill our minds; memories of our first Christmas in our new & improved Little Bird Farm House!

Dear Gaye Marie,
Your lovely card touched my heart! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking time out of your hectic and wild schedule to share some loving thoughts. Honestly, this blog world thing is amazing to me.
Kitchen remodel? Sounds wonderful, yet after doing just that for a few months, it is terrifying. But after all is dusted and put into place it is so worth it.
Two of our dearest friends in the world live in Albuquerque by Old Town. We visit them often as we head to Maine. The Art Museum and Botanic Garden, and of course the Rio Grande Nature Center are must visit stops.
Sending warm wishes across the cold miles.
Lovingly,
Sharon
Dear Sharon,
And thank you for YOUR beautiful card! It arrived yesterday - a beautiful sight amidst all the boring tax-related stuff!
I so appreciate your comment, and yes! The blog world is truly amazing. What a pleasure to have blog friends (and even mentors, in your case; thank you for being a gifted mentor and teacher!) who live hither and yon.
It would be a joy to see you when next you come to ABQ. Perhaps a book talk at Bookworks, our wonderful indy bookstore! Or a cup of tea at our kitchen table. Now that our kitchen addition is DONE! :)
Thank you, more than I can say, for the goodness you add to our world in so many ways. I wish you continuing strength, energy and GOOD HEALTH!
Love, right back to you,
Gaye Marie
PS It is raining here today! A blessed thing!
