april is when the snow finally melts around here; we are in the foothills of the Catskill mountains and the white stuff sticks around up here long after it’s melted just a few miles away. so finally our yard reveals itself again, and the animals are happy to have grass under their feet!
and new life starts peeking out… i love these alien red peony shoots.
we had an amazing array of birds last year… one day there were so many goldfinches we couldn’t keep count. i think this red one was a grosbeak.
april was also when i road-tripped up to Toronto to visit Alisa and teach some classes. we had a super fun time touring every yarn shop and bakery in town, and i loved teaching at the workroom and lettuce knit. i’ll be going again this spring, can’t wait!
