Snowdrops!



They're up!

Cheerful snowdrops are bravely facing the sleet
and chilly rain in the farmland.

Let the celebrations begin!


Spring is on the way!

I'm spending long hours bent over the work table
as I put together a book of hope and inspiration.

When the crick in my neck and my canine companions demand a quick change of pace
it's time to grab the leashes and go in search of signs of spring
in our own garden and the farmland nearby.


Since my trusty Nikon lens is in the repair shop I'm making do
with the iPad camera… not up to my standards.


But it did catch me sneaking fifteen minutes to sketch the cheerful little blooms.

Oh, hurrah, spring's around the corner!!!
