Remember
back in February, when it was 75 degrees here in Tennessee? Well,
now it is April; the high Saturday was 35 with snow flurries, and the
low dropped to 25. Good grief! Mother Nature is playing tricks on
us. I had azaleas budding, early iris blooming, hosta leafed out and
apple trees blossoming. I picked the iris, covered the rest with
sheets; hopefully they will survive.
We've
been preparing the camper for a spring trek. I don't know whether to
pack coats or shorts. Probably both. There are definitely quilts in there. With our unpredictable weather, it could be freezing in June. We always load too much stuff
anyway, but I like to be prepared. We are not minimalists and prefer
to be comfortable. The basics stay in all season, until we winterize for storage.
Sewing
at the campground? Absolutely. I have a little Singer machine, shoe
boxes of cut scraps, a mini iron, and a kit of everything I need to
stitch away on small projects. I also use our time away to design
new quilts on my laptop. Inspiration is abundant in nature, whatever
the weather.
Despite
the forecast,
live
like it's spring.
