OH WHITE COULD BE BEAUTIFUL......

I don't know about anyone else......Actually, I do because everywhere I go the topic of conversation is the long damn winter and where the hey is spring!!!!!  Remember the cabin?  I long for the day when we can open it and spend long lazy weekends up there.  So simple and I am sooo craving simple.

Right about now I am singing a Melany tune in my head...in it there is a line "oh white could be beautiful but mostly it's not".......It is a vegetarian song really but honestly, have you looked outside lately?  The snow is anything but white.  It is dirty, crusty, depressingly gray.  The road is so sanded and salted that I hate to to drive by anyone who is taking a walk on these warmer days because I leave them in a dust bowl unless I go one mile an hour past them.  And then I get dirty (no pun intended) looks because the impression is that I am scrutinizing who it is when really all I am doing is cringing because I am still leaving them in a dust bowl.  Oh well. ........I have had enough of this and if I could I would knock knock knock on heavens door  (another song?) and when God opened it I would whine like only a child can.  Please, please, please, I want spring!!!! Give me spring!!!! No!  I don't want any more snow!!!  I want spring and I want it NOW!!!!!! Wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........and I would stomp my feet and clench my fists and hold my breath until I got spring!!!  I swear I would.  Even God wouldn't be able to stand it.

But alas, all I can do is bide my time like everyone else and wait and hope and pray that the weather guy is so wrong and that it isn't going to snow and that we are going to have warmer temps to help the grass grow.

MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION

Newest Zentangle
March 1st.  I am sitting in my office contemplating the day and if I can believe my rhododendrons right outside my window it doesn't look very cold out there.  I am excited that it is March.  A new month "marching" closer to spring.  The sun is shining and I may go to Woodstock today 'cause I have the fever.

I am back to quilting again.  It has been awhile.  In fact, I have begun to work on several UFO's that should have been finished quite some time ago. But for some unknown reason I have the energy now.  February was tough and all I wanted to do was sleep which has made me feel incredibly lazy.  This week I will go  back to my quilting group and see what has been going on with them.

I haven't forgotten my promise to let you know when I am teaching a Zentangle (r) class.  As soon as I work out the final details I will post here.  Right now I am going to read some of my favorite art blogs.
