Oostanaula River

as it flows into Rome. Cherokee Major John Ridge had a ferry and a home along here. He fought with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Alabama during the War of 1812. His home still stands and is open for tours. Now there is a walkway along this river that many people enjoy every day.

Baby's Breath

It is surely spring here in Georgia. But it is supposed to be cold next week. But probably not cold enough to hurt anything. My son says it is beautiful in Raleigh too.

Morning Visitor

When DH went to get the morning paper he saw this visitor on the mailbox. He had to go back after daylight with the camera to get the picture. The frog was still waiting for the mailman.

Finished Yarn

Just finished spinning this yarn. It is called Lame Duck Mallard from Spunky Eclectic. It is superwash BFL. I spun it thicker so it is 202 yards, enough for a hat or neck warmer or mittens. Saw my ophthalmologist today and no new changes to vision so that is great.

Spring

Looks like spring around here. Areas north and south of us got snow yesterday but we did not. It rained but today is beautiful and sunny.

Vintage patterns

These patterns come from a time when they were 35cents. Well that was a while ago. My friend Paula sent these patterns to me. I especially like the one on the lower right.
It is cold and raining here today. Snow was forecast but we did not get any. It is pretty rare to get snow here in north Georgia, even though we are in the foothills of the Appalachians.

February Apron

The strap has a bow but you can't tell in the picture. Hearts for Valentines Day.
