Wild Flowers of Alder Creek

It is winter in Central NY, but there are flowers in my yard today!

I hope you take time to donate to ALS Research!

Well, almost. I am from Central New York. New York Mills, NY to be exact. I have left Virginia, and for now I’m staying with my cousin Brenda in Alder Creek, about 22 miles north of Utica. I am not a country girl. There is not a quilt Shop for 22 miles (Lord have mercy)!
