Our front lawn is now dark brown, whereas the last few years in January has been brilliant green. The sun is simply cooking our plants as we watch. <br />New Zealand is such a pretty place, the Hobbitland film set looks exactly like all the country for miles around.

Maybe this Spring in Canada. Thank you re the sewing - I was better at it when I was young because (a) better eyesight, and (b) the patterns had much better construction details.

We seem to have many cardinals this winter and I bought a new feeder to hang near a window so I can get better views of them and all the other birds. Many jays, chickadees, tufted titmouse.
