One step at a time

We are in a winter lull. Life feels very mundane. That’s okay, I like it. It’s a very settled-in feeling.

I made two more woven cloth hearts. I stitched these two together with blanket stitch around the edges. I made this image my electronic Valentine’s Day card.

And I’m making squares in the morning. Components, to be used eventually. These one-inch squares happen to have a green and purple color scheme. With an odd bit of blue in there.

Outdoors, there is a light crust of snow. It gets cold at night and warms to above freezing in the daytime.

There was a big crow in the maple tree yesterday morning. Maple tapping season starts soon.

I’d forgotten how bits of windfall attract sunlight’s warmth, creating a depression in the snow. Here’s some lichen nestled in.

I walked a new trail on Sunday. It was called Blue Horizons Trail on Mount Desert Island. It was easy to see the trail because previous people’s footsteps had worn a path. But at one point the trail petered out. I looked around a bit and finally realized that it proceeded over these six stepping stones. It was fun stepping across them.
