spring has begun to melt winter away
and yet today 2 inches plus snow graced our world.....
a couple weeks ago
ice crystals cloaked the forest trees:
and so the slow dance begins
of winter into spring

ReplyDeleteMy Momma would have been 79 on St. Patrick's Day...I can't even imagine that. So we shared something deep and eternal in missing our loved ones.
Your sharing was very poignant and beautiful as well as heart touching Tammie.
(((Thinking of You)))
a happy birthday to your grandpops, I am sure he is smiling upon you now!
ReplyDeleteand what a trickster to bring snow at that! however, by looking at your photo some of the most beautiful ice formations Ive seen!
Huge hugs and all the best to you, all those looking after you! xx
happy birthday to your Papa, dear Tammie ♥
ReplyDeleteHUGS
i adore that green-haired dearheart (+ papa must have been dear himself!) + that ice formation is amazing!! xox
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and tender post, Tammie... Art always shows true colors when it comes from the heart, don't you think? :)
ReplyDelete**hugs**
She's got a dream like quality, and, her green hair looks beautiful! It's great to remember your father. My dad would have been the same age, had I not lost him when he was 46. Makes me wonder often how he would have been.
ReplyDeleteOh, Tammie, this is a beautiful drawing. She has a dreamy, faraway gaze. I love these colors. Happy birthday to your dear father. He is surely smiling.
ReplyDeleteI miss the transitions between seasons. So much back and forth drama. It's kind of exciting, never knowing what the next day brings.
Hugs to you.
Oh, my... she is beautiful! I love her green hair and her expression is gorgeous!
