My schedule and the weather just didn't come together. BUT this week, encouraged by a little show of sun, I set up all my paraphernalia in my yard to give it a shot.

The wind was blowing, the birds were curious and the bees thought I was a flower.
Just a little over a half hour passed before I was chilled to the bone.
Didn't even have time to "plant the scilla in dirt" LOL.


With a hot beverage and back indoors at my table, I worked on this poppy in the sun to "warm up". This painting was based on a photo shared by a dear artist friend. Thank You, Barbara Ann!
