In the mood for....

Spring!!!

Won't be for a few months here in Idaho,

but since I was raised in Califor-ni-a

I always hope for it in February.

A little pathetic, eh?

One can dream.

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

mmmm.....they are wonderful.

Gonna look for a yellow chair

and an enamel bowl.

Love it.

'Tis truth.

She looks so very 

springy.

These paintings came from a Google search for

paintings of Spring.

Except this one.

This is one of my favorite paintings

done by my favorite artist

Nancy Kramer.

I actually got to see it in person

a few weeks ago.

(sigh)

It is called 

'The Fairy Circle'.

Looooooove it!!!

I do love the Spring,

as the world wakes up from

the ravages of winter.

It's almost like I start waking up, too!

So, this is just a little picture I put together

of my sister Nancy whilst I was in NC.

The '6' represents that she turned 60.

But she still looks like a teenager.

I mean,

LOOK at her!!!!

I think people thought I was her mother.

She is so beautiful and talented.

Well,

here's to a thoroughly 

enjoyable

Thursday!

Love to you all,

my little

chickadees.
