Thinking Spring

I've added mini roses to my windowsill.

Keyboard

This is a picture of the keyboard my husband bought for me last summer. I used to have a Hammond organ. I loved playing it. I havent played this keyboard for awhile, because my hands hurt and I have trouble forming the correct chords. Even so, I must get back into playing it even if I just keep playing the same easy songs over and over. Making music makes me feel good.

Cross Stitch

I have been doing a lot of cross stitch lately. I finally finished my little Christmas ornaments. Now I can finish some other projects.

Unusual sighting

Today something very unusual happened. First I saw a lot of robins, about 8 or 10. Then they flew away and two blue jays came down. Then I saw the squirrel running all over and up into the trees. In my backyard I frequently see deer and sometimes rabbits but I rarely see squirrels. What a treat for me!
