The sun is shining and it is a lot warmer today.....warmer?... it is above the zero mark, for me that is warmer. The forecast is looking a bit more positive as far as better weather is concerned.
Most of the flowers that were blooming have survived, however, the newspaper indicated the ginseng farmers are reporting problems. In the Summer the crops are covered with black netting to protect the plants from the hot sun. A couple of weeks ago we had some hot temps and bright sunshine, so the protective netting was put up, however, the heavy wet snow a couple of days ago, pulled the netting down on the plants. Due to the weight it also broke the poles and support wires. Now the netting needs to be lifted off the plants soon or they will get to hot and die.
The quilting Zoom meeting was a success last night, we had a presentation of English paper piecing and also all of projects members are doing. We have decided to make some children's quilts for the local Woman's Shelter. There are so many people needing some help these days.
Dinner tonight salmon, have not decided on what else is on the menu yet, I am sure something will come to mind before we eat.
I always worry about the farmers and their crops when weather makes sudden unexpected changes. I hope everything will revive. Glad your zoom meeting went well and so nice that you'll be making quilts for the Woman's shelter. There really are more in need now than ever. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon and have a great evening. :)
