EARTH DAY

 We still have a foot of snow on the ground so I'm plugged in at the bead table. I really can not wait to get outside and be working in the yard. Right now I’m working on the whip stitch around the top of my order, my least favorite part of the whole project, but it must be done. A couple of more days and it will go in the mail.  And then there is my "Love Ukraine" piece. The mocking bird is their national animal, not bird, but animal. I still have a good way to go on this piece. The blue sky will be bluer then the marker color I’ve used. I'm trying to use the Ukrainian flag colors, with the sky above and the sunflower fields below. Everyday we hear about the Russian war and the horrific destruction and death going on there and it makes me so angry. I try to imagine what it would be like to have my home invaded and destroyed. So on this Earth day, I know how fortunate I am, and I'm grateful everyday for the Alaska wilderness that I call home.
