We have little brooks that are running and thawing more at the edges everyday, so I know its just a matter of time before I can shed these layers of winter clothing. Love your brook with all its lovely colour.
Genie, What a colorful reflection--nice work. I think we are all ready for Spring to make an appearance and then "hang around" for a while. Have a great weekend. Mickie :)
Greetings from north central Iowa. Spring can't come soon enough this year for us around here. Very pretty picture. I can almost hear the gentle sound of that water. I hopped over here from your comment left on "Kathy's Quilts" blog. You wrote that you had a chugging sound with a Brother machine, even after some basic maintenance/needle changing. I basically "killed" my Brother 400 a few years ago with too much machine quilting, fast sewing, asking too much from it. It got a chugging, grinding sound deep inside and it just wouldn't behave and stitch nicely. My Brother repair guy had to replace some part deep inside the machine, down inside the foundation. I guess I'd worked it till that part broke. He said he'd never had to replace one before, but maybe you have the same problem. I eventually sold the 400 but still use and enjoy my work horse Brother 1500 (extended arm) for lots of straight stitching and occasional FMQ. Knock on wood -- so far no unwanted noises from it. I hope you get your machine(s) working well again.
Where are you Genie Girl - on holiday or running with Buddy. ha,ha Just checking in as you haven't been online for a bit. Hope all is well. We still have snow, although spring has officially arrived. I found pussy willows the other day walking by the river. I also had a most delightful walk yesterday, It was a beautiful day with brisk spring wind blowing and the birds were calling on the wind something fierce. Aah, I love the sound of hungry birds in the spring. They are emptying the feeders fast :) Our Geese arrived back from wintering out at the pond yesterday and they looked lean and hungry - approx 48 at last count. They are settling in for summer - I think they are happy to be home at the pond and medium brook they have taken seasonal residence in. Have a wonderful day.
lots of color!

ReplyDeleteAnd I bet there was birdsong as well!
