Thank goodness, it’s finally stopped raining here in Minneapolis and although it’s still a wee bit chilly, the sky is blue, the sun is out, my perennials are coming up, and everywhere I look it’s green, green, green! I may be fighting a migraine and a fibro flare–but today spring wins the contest for my soul.
If people did not love one another, I really don’t see what use there would be in having any spring.

Thank you! I wish I could say that I had…but they are actually “digital art”. I took a photo with my iPhone and then added texture and a tiny bit of silvery color with a photo app on my phone. It’s one of my favorite effects because it does add that painterly look!
