So far, there is no sign of my tulips yet but then again it just snowed again last night and the temperature dropped so I don't expect to see them for a while. Happy Spring!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948428700468860311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104124069900461396.post-33306496509089914242013-03-14T08:00:15.372-04:002013-03-14T08:00:15.372-04:00Thanks for the compliment.

My house sits in what had once been land cleared for farming so there are very few large trees around. Mostly I have oak trees along the old fence lines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948428700468860311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104124069900461396.post-34911054717444439462013-03-14T07:57:09.442-04:002013-03-14T07:57:09.442-04:00Thank you!

Then he make a comment about the colour and I knew then that he really wanted them. The tag didn't have a colour reference but I think the colour is 'Nebula' by Fleece Artist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948428700468860311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104124069900461396.post-52388064024211976292013-03-14T07:55:46.494-04:002013-03-14T07:55:46.494-04:00Thanks!

Still, it's fun to see how the process works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948428700468860311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104124069900461396.post-43865041807326021652013-03-11T20:16:44.173-04:002013-03-11T20:16:44.173-04:00Love the sock colour.

Many colourful yarns are calling from my stash.<br />I noticed a lot of tulips poking out of my garden this morning. Ah! That sping feeling that tulip shoots bring. :-) <br />- PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104124069900461396.post-39462007215387648312013-03-11T14:45:07.517-04:002013-03-11T14:45:07.517-04:00Great socks!

Then I thought it's a shame that I don't have a couple maples on our property. Making my own syrup is kind of a dream of mine. Good luck, I hope you get a good yield!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384198930399850116noreply@blogger.com
