Watercolors

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor,
summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

Spring

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"

Indoors or out, no one relaxes in March,
that month of wind and taxes,
the wind will presently disappear,
the taxes last us all the year.
~Ogden Nash

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter...

2008-04-05T02:00:00.000-04:00

...Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.
~Author Unknown

Kindergarden was in an uproar when the
Leprechauns turned over chairs,
caused havoc, and left behind both a mess and footprints!

Young Love

2008-04-05T01:50:00.000-04:00

From Evan's "Future Wife" Emily.
Ah, love at the age of 5.
Scarier even is that he's been in love with her since he was 3.

Anyone can catch your eye,
but it takes someone special to catch your heart.

Believing hear, what you deserve to hear:
Your birthday as my own to me is dear...
But yours gives most; for mine did only lend
Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend.

Is it still Winter in your heart?

2008-04-05T01:24:00.001-04:00

Is it still Winter in your heart?
Do you refuse another season's start?
The birds have all flown from my trees
They've gone away with all my yesterdays and used-to-bes
Is it still Winter in your heart?
Let flood the light
Let the curtains part...

Thanks Giving

For the chance to watch an infant grow into a toddler, a toddler into a tweenie, a tweenie into a big kid, a big kid into lord only knows what... For this chance to get to love another person whole-ly and completely... For this chance at motherhood, I am thankful.

May everyday be Your Thanksgiving.

Better Beautiful than Perfect

2008-04-04T23:02:00.000-04:00

We can hear the bossa nova,
We can sway the night away,
The steps to the dance are best left up to chance,
Better beautiful than perfect, anyway...
And while the moon wanes and waxes,
Death and taxes are lurking out there,
Life is grand, Love is real and Beauty is everywhere...

(Clyne, Johnson, Naffah)

Welcome to a celebration of artistic expression, a grand life, real live love and beauty in all shapes and sizes.
