OT welcome sweet spring time

Yesterday we had flash floods with tornado warnings. Today, ta-dah! the
robins arrived. Not 'our' robins - they always travel on to the north.
They always come by in January after a hard rain. We think the wet pasture
and orchard are better for finding unsuspecting tasty worms and such. So.
Your spring will come. It is on the way. Take heart.
Have you noticed that this is a Leap Year? Is there anyone here who
wants to propose to a prospect or shall we find another way to celebrate the
event?
And . . . since I'm OT in all directions, we accidentally received a
shipment of trash bags of a size that will sack your refrigerator just fine.
The shipper said just to keep them. What on earth will we do with them?
There are forty pounds of those bags. One would fit over my batting roll
but I can't think of a good reason to sack it.
To wander around back to our topic, the quilt for our great-grandbabyson
is precious. Wonderful. I can not wait to show it to you. I promise
pictures. Polly

AHHH!! The promise of spring sigh Too much winter still in the
mid-eastern U.S. So I'll be heading to Florida next week for about one
month.

Now that is just bizarre -40 pounds of plastic? Maybe some volunteer
organization in your neighborhood could use them (Leaf Rakers
Anonymous?)
I want pictures soon -not a patient person!

instead

Mr. Esther needed a bucket with a wringer on it for the chamois he uses when
washing the vehicles. Found one that's just right. It even has flanges on
the base that you can stand on to hold it steady while you pull the 'towel'
through. It is delightful what you can find on the internet if you have the
time. Polly

Hi Polly, I'm glad you had a chance to see the birds. The trash bags sound
like the size different organizations use in their trash barrells when they
have charity dinners. Someone would appreciate getting them. Here in FL
our park uses the larger size bags in a few of the trash cans in the
Recreational Hall. I'm sure you will think of a group who can use these!

Except when it arrived it had morphed into 40 pounds of ginormous trash
bags?

Flash floods and tornado warnings! Wow, Spring comes in with a bang
in your neck of the woods, Polly

We haven't had much of a winter here in central NY state - and hardly
any snow. Not that I'm complaining. I would never complain about 40
degree temps in late January! DH says the 'January thaw' is lasting 3
weeks this year...

Large plastic sacks -- maybe they were designed for holding leaves or
yard rakings? Nontheless that's a lot of bags!

Looking forward to seeing that sweet quilt.

Usually when you post about the birds arriving for your spring we are
covered in snow with single digit temperatures. Your happy
descriptions only make me feel worse. This year we are having such
funny weather our trees think it is spring. Yesterday the temperature
in Chicago was 57. We have had some snow but it is gone in a few days.
Of course those of us who think negative thoughts keep saying that we
will pay for this warm January weather with snow in April.

You are so right, Susan. One year I planted the front flower bed 3 times;
first bunch froze, 2nd ones washed down the street. Wiser now, I don't even
think about it until March 18th. The yellow jasmine is uproariously
blooming by the sewing room door; little does she know. In 2010 we went
straight from 20 degrees to 80 degrees. Missed spring altogether. Maybe we
need to get a Farmer's Almanac? Polly
