Happy Thursday, my inky friends!
Thank you for all of your beautiful artwork over the last week. As always, my non-artist self is so impressed by your creations. Each one is like a little marvelous surprise, not unlike the Spring blooms appearing around us.
After living in the desert for many years, we moved to Virginia a few months ago and this post-winter awakening they’ve got going on here has all the happy bits of my soul absolutely humming. As our first Spring in this new house and in this new part of the world, every walk I take has a new beautiful something popping up (I think bright yellow mini-daffodils may be the current favorite.) I cleared some old dead weeds from around our mailbox a couple of weeks ago and discovered two little clumps of some unidentifiable bulbs pushing through the dirt. I have no idea what they are and I love this so much more than if I had planted them myself. It’s like somebody has given me a gift and I have to just patiently wait to unwrap it. What color will they be? How tall will they get? Will they smell good? The suspense is killing me! You’d better believe I’m out there every day, checking for progress (and yes, maybe talking to them and giving them old lady names like a garden-looney.)
Maybe it’s not flowers you first think of when you hear the prompt “bloom” but just like my mystery flowers, I can’t wait to see what emerges.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go check on Mildred and Myrtle.
Love you all!
