Some of you may have seen this cute little ditty on Facebook awhile back. It struck me as funny, and even though yesterday was in fact The First Day of Spring, many folks posted on Facebook that it snowed. I'm happy to say it didn't snow here, and I hope we've seen the last of it, but still ...it doesn't look like or feel like Spring, so perhaps it's really not quite yet installed. Meanwhile, keep those hands busy with yarn, needles and hooks, our homeless friends still need our help. AND remember, even after the weather is nice, we continue, this is a year long quest. We continue to knit, crochet, and loom and donate--- that gives our shelters and our friend Rae the ability to stock pile supplies so as soon as the weather turns they are prepared and don't have to wait for a delivery from us to protect the people in need.
A bit of an update, this badge which you see in my right sidebar is part of the annual #atozchallenge. We blog daily in alphabetical order, and we visit at least 5 blogs daily. It's a way to grow readership, meet new bloggers and we're hopeful the added exposure for Bridge and Beyond will produce new followers of the blog and helping hands for the cause. I've started an additional blog log, also in the right side bar, scroll down for all a-z friends who visit and leave comments on the blog to assure I'm able to visit your blogs back and return the favor. I've written and scheduled to post 8 blog posts so far, (A-H). As donations come in those posts will be added to the scheduled challenge posts. Additionally, I've visited and left comments on 70 blogs so far (5 for each blog post since I've joined the challenge). Reminder to my a-z friends to please delete your captcha (per challenge rules), and to please leave the actual url to your blog not your profile page or google+ page so reciprocal visits are possible.
