Spending a lot of time fantasizing what it would be like in spring and summer around here. Walking glumly in the grit and grime with dirty snow and ice everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I decided to visit the pussy willow I discovered last year. I am very happy to say the pussy willow is showing signs of spring! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m pleased with myself that I remembered where it was. I&#8217;m glad it helped me reset to be able to notice the tiny changes of early spring and not have to jump out of the present moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"412\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6335.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6335.jpg 412w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6335-124x300.jpg 124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pussy willow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And I decided to modify my &#8220;snow&#8221; squares. They are too stark white for the garden quilt, and look out of place. Maybe if I add some colorful triangles. These initial pieces feel great and inspire me to continue. It&#8217;s a lot of stitching, but &#8211; that&#8217;s the nature of this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6334-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6334-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6334-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img_6334-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was feeling a little desperate for spring.
