Is this spring ?

No spring here. Tempting fate high above the horizon.

New Beginnings

Pardon my absence . An injury side lined me for the last 2 months, but I am sound again in time to catch the first buds of spring. With the hot temperatures we will have to move quickly




Cheerful faces of the Forsythia! Is this bee bait or what !




First peep of the strawberry blossom!




Tender buds on the Blueberry bush

Cycles

"Those who can't remember the past are doomed to repeat it " ~ George Santayana ( 1863 - 1952)

No matter how I try, this time of year always imposes on my creative time. The chi is blocked till Uncle Sam has his due. Then perhaps the chi can flow once again like a beautiful river.

Learning

"Teach us the road to travel and we will not depart from it forever" ~Satank~ Kiowa chief 1871

Today 140 years later there is a challenge to not only find the path to your genuine self but to remain steadfast. There are so many distractions from the music of the spheres.

Valentine's Collection

This week I will be listing the valentine's collection, with genuine American Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, amethyst,kyanite ovals, green onyx briolettes, opaque rubies, white topaz, fine silver bead accents and sterling heart charms. Ear wires are sterling and may be changed out for your preference.

Blizzard Part Deux

Here we go again. We have had dinner plate size snow falling out of the sky , ok maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration but at any rate 3 hours and 7 inches later it is still falling .




I have been officially busted. Yes those are Christmas lights on my tree. An old tradition. Leave them up till you get arrested by the neighborhood association.



So all is cozy , the fur balls are curled up next to the fire, and the lights are flickering as the limbs get heavy and lean on the power lines. Thank goodness for wood heat. We will see how things are in the morning . For now I am out to "mess" up the snow and gently unburden the limbs so they don't break , humming a few barrs of "MacArthur's Park" and all that sweet cream icing melting ; )

Abundance

Today has come to a close with the upwelling of abundance and contentment. To live in the moment and simply be present, easy to say but sometimes a challenge, at this moment a reality .

"Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time." ~ C.S. Lewis
