Spring is right around the corner.

4 weeks until Pitchers & Catchers HAVE to report, and me and my friend can hardly wait.  I saw a picture on Pintrest and took a screen shot, then made my version of my little friend, he will take up residence on a wall in my office because my desk has been declared a hazard zone and I don't know when I will get to cleaning it.  We are both looking forward to #28.
Thanks for looking.

Looking forward to Spring.  I'm retiring and March 20th is my last day.

So far, we have had a very mild winter.  High 30's and low 40's with a few low 50s thrown in.   But hang on, February can sometimes be our worst.

@barb.j.enders Barb, thanks for the heads up, I had no idea that was Steve's pattern,I confess that I can never find a pattern I want in Steve's catalog, so, I have not tried in a long time.  Thanks for sharing that information, I certainly had no intention of pirating Steve's pattern.

Thank you all for the very kind remarks, I have since learned that this may have been an original Steve Godd pattern of a Valentine piece that someone altered.  

If I did something wrong, I apologize to Steve and to my friends at The Village for misleading you all.

Steve is quite happy to have his patterns altered.  Just wants to be credited.   I also altered the pattern.....or at least I had @Don in Brooklyn do it.  And yes, ut can be challenging to find a pattern in his catalog.

Weather wise, we have been on a roller-coaster!  Today -32 C without windchill.  Friday we had a blizzard.   Not much snow but very srtong winds,  temp was only -5C.  Ealier in Jan we were above zero.

I'm a bit south of Barb.  We've got -16F that feels like -40F.  This morning when I left home it was -20F, but I didn't look for a wind chill.  

February is usually worse than January.  Yay!
