Spring is s-l-o-w to arrive to this part of New England… We tend to get the biggest, deepest snow storms in March. When the rest of the country is thinking crocus, here in Vermont we’re thinking snow shoes.
But its been warm this week and so the snow covered hillside is starting to get a hint of pink as the maple trees start thinking buds and the tips of the trees are turning red. The spring of daffodils and tulips is still a long way away but I’m seeing the light at the end of winter’s tunnel and a little red too.
I sensed it too, but I hadn’t yet dared to hope. Do you think it’ll last? For me, it’s not the cold or the snow – it’s the gray. The combination of sleeping tree trunks, and muddy slush under salt-flaked cars. I need some pretty serious color to compensate. And warm sweaters….
Cheers – and happy (hopeful) spring

That jacket is amazing! It looks like there are a lot of really cool details. I’ll keep my eye out for its release.
I asked on Ravelry, and I’ll ask here as well – what sweater is that, please? It’s lovely.
The pattern is coming very soon!
LOVE that sweater!!! And it’s been snowing in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont for the past four days… (sigh)
Here too… for the last two weeks even, but the maple trees don’t seem to mind!
lovely!!!
