Are you familiar with Japonica? It is so beautiful this year right outside our bedroom window. They are so delicate of perfect little bells up close. I love looking at life through the lens of the camera and with art! It’s a whole new world! 🙂

Well – spring is coming and going here – LOL – and I must admit to you that I am a photography class drop out. The time of day and day of week just wasn’t working for my schedule and it wasn’t quite what I thought it would be. I only went to 2-3 classes. You see – the classes were on Thursday evenings – the only night offered – and that is Hubby and my “date night” at our local “John’s Bar” with friends. I hated missing it since the class wasn’t quite what I expected…. well – suffice it to say I am a photography class drop out…

that is sweet of you – I feel a bit guilty that I’d rather go to the bar with hubby than class, but then – that is the beauty of being 53 and doing what I darn well want to do ! 🙂

Jodi; I am with You!
life is too short to 1. keep watching a show you don’t like 2. take a class you are not Inspired and eager to Get To! 3. not take time for self restoration

That’s really strange weather. We have had lots of wind (ugh). Yesterday I went to the grocery store and when I came out to go to my car it was pouring rain! We need the rain so I don’t mind rain just not when I am going to my car with groceries from the grocery store. I hope your snow melts quickly and the spring weather makes a comeback that stays!

Gorgeous spring-y flowers! ❤ And your poem reminds me of the old song that went "It's a lovely, lovely day, so whatever you've got to do, you've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true!" 🙂 I think Vera Allen and Donald O'Connor sang it together? Not sure though.
