Spring Fever and a WINNER!

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm.....I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string........

Remember that song from the musical, State Fair? It Might As Well Be Spring!

A bouquet of Spring Fling!

Stormy skies over the prairie (Adams Co, WA).

Lily of the Valley, Snow Drops and the Promise of Easter.

Babies everywhere!

Easter Challah.....

....and spring salads.....

.....golden willows about to burst forth!

Clear days.

Girls with baskets of flowers....

....lovely quilts......

the whisper of summer, yet to come.

I know, I know. Spring isn't here yet but it is fleeting in our semi-arid corner of the world. So we have to catch it while we can....as early as possible and as long as possible. Isn't it great?

And now for the Winner of last week's pattern:
