Always a treat when I'm on Pinterest and see a piece of mine... This is a very old piece and I had forgotten about it... Thinking it would make a nice valentine..
We had 10" of snow Friday and 3" more yesterday DH spent the rest of the day getting the snow off the roofs of the chicken house, gazebo, pump house and the wood shed....all old structures we'd hate to lose to heavy wet snow. ...then we pumped out the cellar... Poor Morris is struggling to get through this deep snow with his little short legs. I am dying to get out and walk and so sick of being inside...but I want the snow to go off slowly as well... Any more my only physical exercise is cooking... Doing the pork loin with apples today with a Calvados cream sauce and serving with salad and roasted beets. Maybe I will do some laps at the garden store and fondle packages of seeds.
Neighbor's pigs continue to be a major problem. DH chased them home this morning before he left and locked the gate...but they just returned and busted through the fence. We are at our wit's end with them...
Had the loveliest surprise recently... I became reconnected with a special friend whom I had thought I had lost forever. She is much younger and our lives are very different but quite by accident our paths crossed years ago and she became a dear friend. At that time she was only working part time and we often got together and made jewelry... But then she got another job and was working full time AND part time and to top that she fell in love.... But she's married now and her life is settled and we've set a date to reconnect. She was around a lot during the lambing days... One of the most positive and talented people I know...

a lovely crazy block. The pigs are causing you so much trouble trying to picture them coping with all that snow wondering do they sink or float on the top!! Dinner sounds delicious. How lovely to be meeting up with a friend you have not seen for a long time lots of chatter and laughter is sure to happen have a lovely time
That would make a perfect valentine. I do love your work. Would an electric fence work to keep the pigs out? As long as you can keep Morris away from it. We still haven't had much snow - another inch or so. People with wells are getting worried that they might run dry.
Such a beautiful block! And I know what you mean about it being a thrill when you discover someone has pinned your work (provided, of course, they give you proper credit). So nice to reconnect with a friend - I'm sure you will not lose touch again. As for the pigs - perhaps you should get one of those guns that shoots buckshot and use it. Trouble is, the police would likely take a dim view of that solution. Wonder if installing an electric fence in the spring would work?
Gorgeous block! You have such a gift! The menu sounds delicious what time is dinner!
