Hi Dawn
for you it is -30 for us today it will be just over 30. I took a look at the garden and decided it would too hot to weed and decided to so some stitching instead!
This pretty embroidery gave me such a lift this morning! It is -30 Celsius here today (Ottawa, Canada), and I needed a little eye candy to remind me that spring will come again.
