Yesterday I drove into Elm Grove to visit one of my favorite quilt shops. I had a gift certificate burning a hole in my wallet....or at least a partial gift certificate. I don't remember who gave it to me....I think it was from one of my terrific kids for a birthday or something. For awhile it was sort of "lost" in my wallet.....but there when I found it there was with a balance of almost $22!
It is really fun to browse a quilt shop and know that you can add to your stash without subtracting from your bank balance. I had a fun thirty minutes or so and came away with four half-yard pieces of beautiful cotton quilting fabric.....and zero left on the gift card.
But it was driving home when spring hit me right in the face.....coming east on Good Hope Road there it was....a two story tree in full bloom! Big white blossoms.....I was moving past quickly so I don't know if it was a magnolia or dogwood...but it was big and beautiful.
Walking around Port Washington today we saw daffodils and a few crocus in bloom. But "our" trees are hardly even budding yet!!! I know it's cooler by the Lake....so I guess we can move a bit west to find spring quicker or just wait a few days.
Looking out our window at Lake Michigan......hmmmmm.....I guess I will wait.
