Signs of Spring - Finally!


This winter has been one of the coldest, wettest and snowiest that we've had in a very long time.  It has been the kind of winter that keeps me cuddled up in  heavy sweats and wool socks and in a listless, "don't want to do anything" kind of mood.

Our camellias (first pink flower) have been in bud all winter and these usually bloom in February.  The crocus and Lenten Rose are usually in bloom in February also.  However, they're all just now coming into their full beauty, almost a month late. 

No matter when they arrive, they're a welcome and uplifting sight!

Lenten Rose and Who Are You?

"Lenten Rose"
Watercolor

This is what I painted yesterday. My husband really likes it (darkish background and all! lol) but it feels as if something is not quite right to me. Of course, I usually agonize over any watercolor painting and I don't know if it's that "watercolor doubt" or if something is really off with it. If you have a comment either way, I'd like to hear it.

I'd especially like to hear from those of you who visit on a fairly regular basis but never comment. Since I got the feedjit live traffic feed, I can see where my visitors come from but not who they are. At least now I know I do get visitors, but now I'm curious about them!

So, go ahead and comment and tell me about yourself. It's like that song from the Who that's played on CSI (Las Vegas) -"Who Are You? Who, Who?" lol

I'll go put the coffee on and you just come on in and make yourself comfortable. I like having visitors and may even whip up a batch of homemade blueberry muffins while the coffee is brewing!
