  9. Sandy, no I've never tried weaving with bittersweet. Though it is common where in our area, we don't have any on our property. I was eying a uniquely twisted vine on my morning walk today thinking it would make a nice handle for a basket. I'm not sure of the how flexible the vine is or how durable it is after being dried.

    Trina, thanks!I figured my profile photo needed an update since I had the same one for two years. :)

    Our snow all melted today, but we are supposed to get more overnight.

  13. Hi there - what a great shot - I really like it when you can find a detail in a landscape that says just has much as a bigger scene - and your picture says 'cold'!
