Oh how beautiful! With just a few strokes of charcoal and pencils you've given us winter receding back into the mountains and spring proceeding apace with Mother Nature adding a little touch of color to the landscape with her little crocus. My snowdrops are up, and the tulip stems are shooting out, but only the snowdrops are blooming so far.

I'm SOOOOO tired of winter here! And more snow forecast for tomorrow. Sighhhhhhh ... But thank you for this lovely breath of Spring! I'm filled with hope just looking at it!

It is spring now here in the Pacific Northwest, but winter keeps pawing at us, rather like a cat fishing in a mouse's hole. The daffodils at my friends' house are beginning to bloom, while mine are not yet fully budded out. But the grass, too encouraged by the downpours of February and earlier this month, is growing far too quickly, and I don't yet have the lawnmower replaced!

Thank you so much! I don't do anywhere as much drawing or painting as once I did. I am so glad that this one blossom helps to reassure people that winter indeed is finally beginning to draw back.
