Spring is sprung, the grass is ris.
I wonder where the birdies is!
My Mom was reciting this little poem to me on the first day of spring. It is so sweet! I love birds. They are such neat little creatures with their sweet songs.
When I was a little girl visiting my Grandparents up on the Niagara Escarpment, every day my Grandfather would pull out his binoculars and bird books. We would wait patiently to catch a glimpse and identify the birds that would pass by the big bay window or stop for a snack on my Grandpa's bird feeder. I loved spending that time with him. We would see so many types of birds, but I can only remember the names of the most common types such as the Cardinal, and the Blue Jay.
A great place to go for some bird watching is the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. They have a number of hiking trails. Here's a picture of a Blue Jay from the last time I was there. I think I'm due for a hike and some exploring. Next time I will bring my binoculars. That's what I'll do.....
But first, I have 2 gift shows coming up very soon. From April 1 - 5th, Crumb Designs will be at the One of a Kind Spring show, and from April 9 - 11th, at the Peterborough Garden Show. I will have my whole line of aprons for sale as well as some new Garden aprons!
Here are a couple of pictures of me in my Crumb Designs garden apron last spring. I look a little messy but I'm so happy to working in the dirt.
See you at the shows!
