For a Wreath

Color, Color, Color

SomeBunnies Need a Package

Grandchildren and Holidays

I am making flat things, of paper, to get in the mail soon. Spring themes and colors. 

Easter will be a part of this. The idea is to have an Easter tree and wall color.  

Spring Planting

For Summer Garden

We won’t have much, but we can’t have nothing: farmer blood, you know. 

Spring Is Coming

Crocuses

The snowdrops are about done, and the crocuses are in full flower. 

The first little primulas are peeking out. Daffodils won’t be long behind. 

Watercolor 507

Flower

Not a good painting, but I learned a little something from it, and sometimes that is all that matters. It will go on the recycle pile and maybe get used for something some day. 

Challenge

Sister sent out “Draw this Owl” Challenge

My version

Watercolor 508

It started so....

Then stayed like this awhile, as I contemplated what to do with it.....

Then I added these.

More Old Memories

In Lovely Writing

“ As the roses bloom, 

So blossoms your happiness,

And when you roses see,

Think back oft on me.” (Loose translation) End of school year 1948

From her sister 

“.... go not without God’s Spirit and Word,

Never forth from your house.”

Old Friends, Old Memories

Found

In going through more stuff, I found a folder of family history papers. Among them was this little book of poems from the sisters and friends of my sweet mother-in-law, now n her eighties. The book is over seventy years old. 

Note the gorgeous penmanship. 

“.... have a song on your lips, 

Don’t lose your courage,

Have sunshine in your heart, 

And all will be well.” (Loose translation) 1942
