The spirit of spring is stirring. Soon buds on trees and the glorious riot of bloomings

The return of the Dawn Chorus is bringing me much joy this spring

One of the pleasures of having a year unencumbered by work and social engagements (yes, that is a little tongue-in-cheek) is that I have been able to watch the sun rise from my east facing porch on many mornings. So I am feeling the progression of the seasons more deeply in my bones than I often get the time and leisure to do.

Happy Vernal Equinox everyone! The pathway to Spring is coming clear (despite the snow still piled in my yard)

I got tired of painting inside the lines. Take a break in the woods.

Honest to goodness, I didn’t realize until I scanned this that I’d painted a green snake on St Patrick’s day
