Beauty in Winter


Nothing speaks so much of goodness as an apple orchard in all its seasons.
There is beauty, even in winter when only the bare twigs and branches are seen.

I wanted to stop by and say hello. I am greeted with this sweet verse! Yes I think a bare tree in winter is a sight of real beauty.

I do hope you will consider put the old sewing items on display. It is a great way to honor your great~grandmother and honor your own tradition of needlework at the same time. I love seeing my Aunt Janey's knitting needles there on the shelves as I really miss her.

Have a wonderful weekend dear Joanne. I need to send you a nice long email soon. We are getting out of touch and you are so very often in my thoughts...

Hugs ~
Heidi
