It was a good conference yesterday - the last one for the season. Of course I had my hexies with me, completing 16 jewel hearts, in addition to the 17 completed at the last conference. I still need to make a bazillion more but it was nice to make some progress..

The weather has been amazing lately. I can only guess that the delayed spring weather is the reason for my pear tree to finally bloom 100%. I've probably had the tree 10 years and blooms have been spotty at best.
Just Sunday I was noticing the buds starting to form and yet 3 days later it was completely in bloom as are the pear trees lining Main Street. Not great for allergies but it's gorgeous.

And this morning I finally spotted the Baltimore Oriole!!! I've tried for years to get the Orioles to come to my yard and finally gave up a few years ago. After thinking I heard one on Sunday and seeing at least 2 this morning I stopped at the hardware store for an Oriole feeder and I'll get grape jelly on the way home. Please - oh Please - let them still be around when I get the feeder set up!!

And, finally, the penultimate weather rosette. It's hard to imagine that just a year ago, this project was just a twinkle in my eye and now I have friends around the world joining in. I do hope that some of you will be willing to continue for a second year. Everyone is also welcome to join in at any time.
Gorgeous block this week. I'm thinking about a second year!
ReplyDeleteLook at those warm colours!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the pear blossom and your oriole. Happy spring at last!
Thirty-three finished out of a bazillion. You are a patient person! :)
ReplyDeleteThe blooming trees are so pretty. Last night our weather guy was saying pollen from trees is higher than ever. I guess it is times like these I can be grateful my Spring allergies suddenly ended 33 years ago, but came back in the Fall.
I do hope your Oriole is still around to enjoy your feeder.
Your weather rosettes have been fun to follow. I am looking forward to the reveal of your next weather project!
This has been fun to follow. I have seen Vireya's in person. To see them completed will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in but I'm not a hexie fan. Not sure what I could do. Maybe a Dresden fan....
Love your rosettes! I tried adding my link but couldn't get it to work.
