Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss!

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years (over 400 weeks!) and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

The back yard at 5:30 a.m.  Monday.  See the shed?  That's where the snow shovels were.   I put on my boots and retrieved them.

It warmed up and here's the same scene this morning.   The temps will reach 60 by Friday so all the snow will be gone.

Yesterday Lynn and I had a nice catch-up and a good long walk in the sunshine at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve.  We've known one another since kindergarten and reconnected at our 50th high school reunion.   She lives about 30 miles southwest of me.   After the walk we continued the conversation over lunch.  

She is a realtor and a writer/editor (EmpowerWritingService . com)

It's been a while since I walked the trail at Sedge Meadow.  74 degrees and sunshine made it most pleasant. 

I saw three bottle gentians!  (The third one is at the lower right.)

 This circle of little heart-shaped leaves came into view just as I was telling Stevens how much I missed him.
