Faux Spring Thing

"It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"  ~Mark Twain

A man after my own color-seeking, bloom-desirous heart!  So...maybe I should have waited until April to move back to the Midwest...?   But it's getting closer to Spring everyday, and right now the rain outside my window (instead of the more recent gelid mediums) are evidence that a warming trend is certainly upon us.  I decided to celebrate Spring in its closeness but photographing some of the Faux Spring Things surrounding me today....promising real Spring Things very soon.  Hope you enjoy!

 

A series of lively, cheery flea market finds.

  

  

  

  

 Oh, how I love Orchids....

  

 ...and these flowers too, whose name I don't know.

  

I do believe in you Spring, I do! 

 

Another recent flea market treasure! An old Artstyle Chocolate box, now filled with colored pencils (not quite as appetizing...)

A green button...how perfect!

Parton Family Affair

A few months back, I was able to spend a sunny, beautiful, windy (!) few hours with the Parton Family.  4 sweet and lovely girls, what a delight.
