Spring is coming...

Fun with a sponge and an orange stick

Spring is coming...
At least I hope it is.
Here in Southwest Florida we have had a cold week.
And when we have a cold week, we all whine.

So I have been thinking Spring.
I am repotting orchids, cleaning the lanai and just generally getting ready
for the warm weather (and our company).
We even cleaned out the garage this week.  I will take advantage of this motivation
as long as I can.


I played with a little negative glazing again this week.
I find it relaxing.  I think I will add some leaves and maybe some splatter

MMmmm I want spring! It is warming up here in Ontario but we still have alot of snow to melt.

These make me long for it. Haha. I actually really love the simplicity of the first one, and coral is my favorite color! But the second one is lovely as well.

both so soft and beautiful but I LOVE the second one especially!! I've been hearing about the unusual cold in Fl. Friends lost everything in their greenhouse the other week. Hope it gets seasonably warm again!
