Treasurer’s Report:
It feels like February since it’s snowing this morning while I’m writing this letter. On the upside, Lydia Lander noted that her Witch Hazel was starting to bloom, and that’s one of the earliest signs of spring! By mid-March we should have some daffodils in bloom and maybe some forsythia. Hang on, spring is around the corner. In the meantime, enjoy these winter days, when staying inside and sewing seems like the perfect thing to do.
