I am currently working on a new project with Becky Schantz, 

author of "Mommy, How Many Numbers Are There?"  

Here's a sneak preview...

To commemorate Spring, I took an old friend and made him new again.

 

Spring.  A new beginning...

 It is as hot as a firecracker outside.

Hope you have a bang-up day.

This little guy has been around quite awhile and I still cannot get his eyeglass lenses right.  Every St. Patrick's Day I tweak him.  He will probably show up again next year, maybe sporting RayBans, or better yet, contacts.

Wishing you the luck of the Irish on this St. Patrick's Day.

The snow has returned.  Wishing all a Happy Valentine's Day.

 

"Winter, a lingering season,

is a time to gather golden moments,

embark upon a sentimental journey, 

and enjoy every idle moment." 

This quote by J. Boswell was the sentiment on my holiday card this past season.  Yes, this was the year--one of the mildest on record--that I chose to celebrate Winter.  It was easy this past December to wax poetic about the enveloping isolation of a snowfall.  Little did I know we would be enjoying temperatures near 70 degrees in January.   But I'll take it.
The cat in the saddlebag above would most certainly approve also.
