each moment eternal

Flowers: a hyacinth beside me,  and geranium essential oil, lavender and lily of the valley scents in my daily life.  The snow from yesterday has almost melted.  You can smell spring in the air.

How lucky we are to have flowers

each moment an eternal startburst

keeping this in mind as we meet

the next miracle

 





ambiguous ambivalence

Mid-week of the last week of the third month.  March is such an ambiguous month, neither winter nor spring, always tipping on the edge.  How often I have felt that way myself, excited about Spring, wistful for the loss of Winter. But there it is, that's life, always moving forward even if it appears to be waffling in ambivalence.

a little more colour each day

 

We went to the library in Wolfville but it's closed on Mondays....sniff

 

Turn around in the library parking lot and this fabulous little house faces you.

 

one of the great old houses of Wolfville....note the maple lined drive to the carriage house....sigh

 

It rained all night last night, but what do we wake up to?

 

This!

peace

love overcomes indifference

Finally a morning without a cloud in the sky. 

The house as been "cracking"  (contractions that make loud banging noises)  in various parts through the night due to the extreme cold;  a sunny day will be most welcome, not only for the passive solar heat,  but for that much starved pineal gland  (on the top of the head)  that loves the sun!

Queen of Hearts - a monotype

Here is a monotype experiment I've been working on in acrylic polymer emulsion that Liquitex sells as 'Ink!'.  It works as a cross between ink and watercolour.  I am very excited about the possibilites and so will contine to explore them.

Also, a big welcome to my old friend and new follower, Mark Mandelbaum.

I love the surprise of seeing who drops in to read this blog.  Thank-you so much silent followers for caring to visit.  So cool.  Please do comment though; it helps me to feel connected to the relevance of what I'm doing here. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

As oil rises over water,

And cream rises to the top,

so love overcomes indifference.
