I think my body has finally adjusted to the time change, yet I don't seem to be getting into the studio to get going on anything. I realized I still have threads to bury and a label to make and attach to the Joy Banner, but I'm sure any of you who quilt in a way that requires burying threads would understand why I'm still putting this off. There are also a handful of what I think of as 10 to 15 minute projects in there like mending some socks that although I could get them done relatively quickly, I keep passing them by - an old and apparently unbreakable habit. Mainly though, I also realized that I needed to get serious about finishing my taxes, so creative time has instead been used to work on those taxes (not to be confused with working on those taxes creatively). Federal taxes are done and I've downloaded what I need to do the state taxes so those should go quickly.
Fortunately, work on the socks always takes place while watching certain TV programs. I'm ready for the first increase to "grow" the leg to fit over the calf. They are the beauty rippling through my life right now while still waiting for traditional signs of spring. The lawn maintenance crew have been out this week, blowing dead leaves away from foundations and off the lawns and running something over them that aerates the ground I think. And I'm beginning to see tiny leaves pushing out on some of the trees. Still didn't spot any bulbs blooming the several places I stopped at in town, but they must be somewhere . . . Has spring sprung in your part of the world?

Spring is springing in our area now! Trees are starting to get leaves & irises are coming up. It's been warm for awhile except for today which was in the high 30's & low 40's. It tried to snow but fizzled out by late morning. Get those taxes finished so you can work on fun things! Jan in WY
Oh lucky you, Jan, to have irises coming up - they are one of my favorites. I recognize those spring snow flurries that come to naught. Yup, the more quickly I finish up the taxes the more quickly I can get back to doing something fun. :-)
Ha, we bypassed Spring and jumped straight into Summer here in Tucson! Upper 90s all last week, although today we have a respite with some rain. I always feel uneasy when it rains here because I'm so used to the sunny blue skies.
Sherrie, I kinda wondered about that. It did seem like you shot up to summer temps awfully fast. As for uneasiness under rainy skies, I feel it here too today even though our sunny days have been sporadic. A blue sky day seems automatically energetic. Followed by some rain today, the energy feels drained away.
