I pulled this illustration over from my Moleskine blog because it seemed fitting for the day. I finally see hundreds of these little guys trying to pop up in the yard. It takes real finesse not to step on any of them because they're everywhere!
So, while I'm trying to come up with an illustration for this week's "IF", I'll post this cheerful piece for now!
I have had many requests to do a new "bag lady." Stay tuned, you never know!
Happy almost Spring!
Lolo, it makes me feel like there is really HOPE for Spring!
ReplyDeleteLove your header of the birds....so tranquil and just plain fine work!
Dreary day here--rain predicted. Have to see if any of the moon photos turned out from the short window of time last night.
XXOO~~♥

Ahh, love those crocus! I once owned a garden full of them, but I've rarely seen one where I live now. The snow on the ground lasts too long, I think, and then when it is finally gone, it is usually far to warm to enjoy the crocus for long.
ReplyDeleteHappy Almost Spring to you, Lo...we have a snow shower happening, so it might be a while for us!
too early for crocuses here but happy to see yours.
ReplyDelete6 inches of snow in the frontyard but the back is clearing - still to wet and cold to tromp around outside to check for signs of life
ReplyDeleteWell you saw our spring. Its gorgeous, now if it would only quit raining and let us enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have NO flowers in Taos yet, way too early, but we do have sunshine :-). Lovely illustration.

Darling little painting. I love crocus but I don't have any in my yard. Maybe later.
ReplyDelete"Hocous Pocous Crocous" is delightful.

How exciting it must be to find hundred such little flowers popping up everywhere you look.
Happy Spring thoughts.

ReplyDeleteWe are having our first spring storm, and it's a big one, it's been raining hard for over 24 hours. Like a waterfall even. But i could still hear the birds singing. Love that!
You are quite right. This spread is perfect for this time of year. Whoo hoooo...welcome spring.

Once you have crocuses out, the rest will inevitably follow.
ReplyDeleteI can always tell when spring has sprung. my smiles get larger and more spontaneous. Love the hocus pocus crocous rhyme.
