Yippee! It seems that spring is making her way into the hills of North Carolina, and it makes me want to sing! I woke this morning and for the first time in months did not have to build a fire in the woodstove. Though the temperature outside at 7 am was about 36, it felt warm enough in the house from last night's fire, especially when I dressed and put on a loose wool cardigan.
Abby and I went outside this morning and did a little looking around. Well, she sniffed, I looked. And here are a few things I discovered, along with the most beautiful spring blue sky.
Daffodils about to burst...
Blueberries budding...
Yellow-bellied sapsucker in the walnut tree...
The peach tree just beginning to bud...
With all this gorgeous color abounding in the yard, I just have to get into the painting studio today. I've been working on the ivory etchings for a couple weeks now, and I have truly enjoyed it... but now it's time for color and the smell of oil paints.
I hope you enjoy your day as I know I'm going to enjoy mine!
