random feelings of the heart

The purple-leafed plum was blooming a week ago, and it was exciting to see: the first blooming tree. Four days later, it was over! We did have cold weather last week, but maybe it's a short-lived thing anyway - we haven't had that tree long enough for me to remember it's blooming habits. But now the cherry trees are all pink with the crabapples right behind. The grass is emerald, and everything is lush and hopeful. 



I ripped the sleeves off the dress bodice, and detached it from the skirt. I took in the sides an inch. I think I want to make a lining, give it some substance. This may take a while.


Random feelings of the heart,
Ravings of a lone exile,
Stranger to the rules of art,
Let me robe in homely style.

-  James Kennedy, 18th century

    1. They do like that spot - it's between the house and the forsythia hedge.

  3. The spring blossoms are lovely aren't they! I've been raking up autumn leaves, and I have one lone pink rose on my rose bush :) xx

    1. There's nothing like them, Lynda. Is it very cold there? Will your rose bloom a little more?

    2. It's warm again today but we had heavy rain and thunder and lightning last night. I doubt there will be any more roses. I don't think the plants and flowers know if they are coming or going the way our weather has been lately :)
