Welcoming Spring

While I was outdoors today on this official First Day of Spring, I came across so many "Roly-Polys" that I just knew something must be up in their little world!  A spring wedding ~ how fun!

Whether they are curled up in a little ball, or wiggling their tiny legs up in the air, these are the cutest
little bugs around.

Hope your start of Spring is going well!

Because some days we just need to be reminded we can do this.    

Cheers!

sketching thoughts

sketching from thoughts i remember from childhood came through in this drawing ~ pea coats were beautiful and warm and so comfortable. i loved the rows of buttons ~ my favorite part of the coat.  a pair of black shoes i wanted and asked for, but never received. a lesson in not getting all you want in life.  glasses at a very young age. being quiet can be very restful.  long hair took a long time to dry after being washed.  it was fun to be with friends, and to be alone too.
~ thanks for listening to my sketching thoughts.
