Happy Vernal Equinox...I think

Looking out over breakfast on the big day of Spring Equinox... here's what I found. It's beautiful but not what I was hoping for :( I want sun in my eyes and the picnic table dusted off with umbrella open. Oh well. There's always tomorrow!

Anne Lamott is in town tonight and I'm going to try, try , try to go listen to her speak. LOVE her work. Hope your first day of spring is green and sunny!

Caught in a Riptide

Passionflower... dreaming of summer (already!)

Here is a better sample of the yummy Colonial Red of our house... much easier to see here.

Well, 100 faces Thursday came and went... I had my photos downloaded into the computer, all ready. Somehow, it all got pushed to the back burner. I had a great little lunch 'party' (as the kids call it" on Friday with some girlfriends and all our youngest who can have after-pre school playdates, mid-day. It was pure bliss to chat with the girls and hang out. Need to do more of that! (thank you, R and K!)

Anyway, this last Monday of January has turned into... First 100 faces of Thursday :) There will be more at Flickr later today. But, for now - I must don the yoga clothes and corral the kids into their school togs. Happy Monday!

Snowy Swallows and Corgis

I painted this swallow - sky drawing last summer. The blue dots were summer sky with sunlight filtering through. Looking outside today at the wintry white world, it takes on a completely different context. I thought it went well with the dogs casually hanging around in our snowy back yard.

Come on spring... visit us soon.
