Every single tick is a new day. Tick tick tick, the seasons change with every hour that passes by. The spring leaves subside to a red hue that the autumn carries all season. The air carries the smell of fresh pumpkins and crops. Tick tick tick, you blink and it&#8217;s winter, the season known for being the saddest of them all simply because it carries a colder darker approach than every other. The sun begins to cast her dark shadow for the entire season. Nobody likes the winter, only the idea of it, the type in story books where you sit inside with a warm soup and hot chocolate. Winter is seen as a burden nobody stops to admire the pretty snow or the beauty that the winter carries. Tick tick tick, the springtime has come, the season of rebirth and growth. The second best season most enjoy, the early leaves that were once forgotten grow and subside to a beautiful green once again, the sun returns with her beautiful yellow hue. Tick Tick Tick, the summer is here. Summer is often the favorite season of most, it&#8217;s associated with freedom, the end of the school year, vacation. The world keeps spinning, the seasons keep changing, every day is a new Tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"card detailed\">\n    <div class=\"card-header row align-items-stretch relative\" id=\"heading-1121024526\">\n        <div class=\"col-sm-3\">\n            <div class=\"bg-block\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AdobeStock_1087842973-1024x512.jpeg');\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-sm-9\">\n            <div class=\"content\">\n                <h4>Making Quilts with Grandma<\/h4>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <button class=\"btn-link\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1121024526\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1121024526\"><\/button>\n        <a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"cover_link\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1121024526\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1121024526\" aria-label=\"\u30c8\u30b0\u30eb\"><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"collapse-1121024526\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1121024526\"  data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n        <div class=\"card-body\">\n            \n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Making Quilts with Grandma <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Caroline Wertzberger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All quilts are made with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some are soft and some are rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grandma has me pick colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purple for her, pink for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She helps me sew and fix mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blocks go together like puzzle pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We build each quilt with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"card detailed\">\n    <div class=\"card-header row align-items-stretch relative\" id=\"heading-1226354636\">\n        <div class=\"col-sm-3\">\n            <div class=\"bg-block\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AdobeStock_1904969958-1024x683.jpeg');\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-sm-9\">\n            <div class=\"content\">\n                <h4>Washing Goats in July<\/h4>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <button class=\"btn-link\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1226354636\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1226354636\"><\/button>\n        <a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"cover_link\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-1226354636\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1226354636\" aria-label=\"\u30c8\u30b0\u30eb\"><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"collapse-1226354636\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1226354636\"  data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n        <div class=\"card-body\">\n            \n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washing Goats in July<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Anna Cassell <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strawberry was sweet, and Tilly was wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were both patterned like vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strawberry was calm and quite and Tilly was crazy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and bleated loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But both were fluffy and adorable.
