Homemaking Mondays: The Joy of New Things

Hello! 

As spring is now upon us in the Yukon it cheers me 

with the joy of new things. 

Inside we've been starting new plants...

and more to be planted this week.

Our local community is planning for a bedding plant market,

and we're going to be starting some more plants for that. 

Above my daughter noticed today that there are little flowers starting

on our tomatoes.

Below we have some sunflowers starting to create flowers as well. 

Puts a smile on my face! 

With the snow starting to melt and the ground starting to show in spots

I feel a joy.  

One that is a promise of new things. 

Soon the pussy willows will start to bloom and 

the grass start to show green shoots amongst the open patches of ground. 

I do love winter... but I'm happy for spring!

With ever spring there is the sense of cleaning that has always 

come to me.  

Not just the washing of the house, but also of the purging. 

Of things that are no longer needful. 

I went through my yarn stash and pulled out some odd things 

that I no longer need or want.  

In the process I found some more cotton yarn. 

Some that had already been started into a washcloth...

and I finished up some. 

Then there is a stack of them that we're working on (the ladies and I)

for when we move.  

Sometimes it takes some planning to 

have the joy of something new. 

Praying you are all well and enjoying some of the 

joys of new things! 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
