Hello Friends! For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is in full force. In the Northwest corner of the United States, that means dreary, gray, often wet skies. Chilly mornings force extra layers, dark evenings hasten bedtime and yards full of slowly growing twigs await nature's transformation. The air crackles with an electric longing as the huddled masses at bus stops gird their loins until the first signs of spring. I'll know it's here when, upon awakening, I am greeted by a bright morning full of birdsong. That's when my annual store of hope and joy will fully burst open! Until then, I am orchestrating plans in my mini workshop for a new spring project.
More will be announced, right here, soon. But first, I need to make the loop to the Southwestern United States to check on the family elders. They are much wiser and live where the winters aren't so tough to survive. Hopefully, while there, I'll absorb enough sunshine to tide me through the last dreary days of winter back home.
Stay warm! See you soon!

Jodi
