Burr! Well, our winter hasn't ended yet. We got dumped on yesterday and last night. We have about 8" of the white stuff and expecting more today, then comes the thaw. Anj...which of the beautiful eyed Christmas project are you doing first. I have seen the title Luv 2 Paint before but I don't recognize the artist...nice work though. I went back to the Decorative store and purchased 3 books on birds and flowers.....gonna get then right sometime! I have also purchase lots of replacement bottles of paint, didn't realize how many were empty or yucky! Found a sale on Holcraft and as I can't buy them locally, I must use mail order. After doing a lot of color conversion and mixing on my UFO, I am now doing chips of each color I have for further reference. Have you ever compared the original color and it's equal in another brand......lots of difference. With the chips I can compare and mix my own. Plus it takes up my time and keeps my mind busy, can't find anything I really want to paint. Guess the winter blues have a hold on me. Cali and Marylee....nice to have you here! Although you, Anj and Punk are holding up there end and I am not. It's been a really hard month for me, but I know it will get better. And where is Luv? Hope all is well with her and that she is just busy painting! The dryer just buzzed so I/m off for now...take care! Well almost off...DH said I should share these with you...as if none of you have snow. The story about the birds. Two days ago yesterday I noticed this little guy hanging around my window feeder and sitting on the ground. Then when it started hailing yesterday I noticed him on the ground again but he was all fluffed out and it was then I noticed the dead bird beside him. I believe it was his mate and he was trying to keep the hail off of her. DH removed her and now the little beauty has taken up residency in my feeder. He is either a House Finch or a Purple Finch.

Emily, Thank you for the wonderful package. I am sorry I didn't post sooner but we were out of town. I love the two vintage books: The Art of Carving and Helen Corbitt's Potluck. I already saw some recipes that I will be making. I love the fantastic seed collection that you sent and will be wintersowing these right away. Thank you also for the yummy treats: Lorna Doone cookies (love these) and yummy Lindor chocolates minus one (my son couldn't wait to try) Toberlone bar- Yum Yum Yum! I also love the tea's Irish breakfast, organic chamomile, english breakfast and Lemon Lane (great name) I look forward to a relaxing cup today after work! Also love the beautiful silver tube key! I have never seen one of those before so I will have to research it and find out more! I love everything Emily! Thank you again! Amy

"People coming from Russia at that time did not often want it to be thought they might be communists" maifleur, I've read dozens of books on 20th century US and European history and this narrative you keep repeating differs from what I've read. The US didn't immediately warm up to the new Soviet Union for geopolitical reasons as much as anything. When Lenin took power in 1917, he withdrew the country from active conflict. That allowed Germany to concentrate its forces on the Western front (where the allies and ultimately the US were fighting). On the other hand, anti-German sentiment was quite strong some time earlier because of the war (started in 1914, renaming of Kitchener was in 1916 just as one of many examples). The Soviet regime was new and in the early years, few Americans knew much about it. The Germans were severely punished by the Treaty of Versailles and not forgiven by the western powers anytime before WW2 started. If you had a choice in the teens to 40s of being known as having German or Russian ancestors, most would have chosen Russian. It would be wrong to not mention that Germany (West Germany through the fall of the wall) was the bulwark of the West during the Cold War and has served as the anchor point and foundation of European recovery, peace and prosperity for the last 60+ years. And continues to function as that foundation.
