Winter Spring Winter Spring

We never have to endure any particular season for too long. If winter is bearing down on us, it will pass in a day or three. Today spring has arrived, next week we could enjoy a day of summer, or perhaps we will have a week of fall-like rain and fog. Your guess is as good as mine. As I saw a blue sky and sunshine, I opened the bedroom window. I started a load of laundry with dresses that I can hang in the sun to dry. I gathered eggs, and peered at the veggie beds... one needs thinning, the other needs planting. And in the car strip where we have fruit trees orchard I found fruit, and blossoms. Peaches and apples in bloom, limes and blood oranges ready to pick. Just now I have decided that we can make wishes on picked limes. My wish is that we can be together to pick peaches and apples, then make pies, and jams, and share in a picnic.

Beautiful photos, Natalie. I feel like some of them are waiting to become reference material for your warm spring breeze watercolor paintings.

Ooooh! Goals! To capture the light and colors, the delicacy... that would be such a satisfying accomplishment. Maybe I could be happy just playing with the water and paints, letting them bloom, and soak into soft paper...
