Welcome, Sweet friends. Do join my on the porch. We can listen to the sweet melody of the chirping birds, watch the butterflies flutter and admire the flowers in bloom. Aaah Spring time is a a wonderful time of the year. In celebration of this season, I stitched a new house in soft greens, and it even has a porch .
As I worked on this piece, I would reminisce back to the good ole' days when I was a child and would visit my grandparents in the evenings.

Most often you would find my Papa and Nanny on the porch of their old farmhouse. Papa would watch the cows in the field as Nanny chatted away telling about the "goings on" of the day.

Come springtime, Nanny would plant petunias in the concrete planters which lined the long front porch and front steps. Us youngins' would jump off the porch which stood tall and would scamper to the mountain stone sidewalk to pick daffodils which lined the sidewalk. We would soon take our bouquets to Nanny . She would lovingly place them in a water filled mason jar and sit them on the farmhouse table. Such sweet memories.
The Signs of Spring house does not have a pasture with cows nearby , but there are sweet ewes grazing in the front yard. I hope they do not get into the flower gardens.
"Signs of Spring" was stitched on 14 coffee/tea dyed Aida using 13 DMC floss colors which included: 356, 436, 610, 730, 829, 840, 918, 924, 926, 3013, 3021, 3363, Blanc
