Yesterday we had rain.
Yes, we did.
Last night we were supposed to have snow.
No, we didn't.
Today we have sunshine again.
So far we still are.
The weather score card is hard to keep up with
and is not something you can count on.
As of last week,
we had a wonderful view through lace curtains
and thought the upcoming weekend could include
a fun trip to the nursery
for a head start on some summer color
but, instead,
the lilac bush which was full of beautiful blooms,
was barely holding up under rain and wind
and the Cecil Brunner was wishing,
I'm sure,
it had stayed under cover a while longer.
In honor of spring
our little town has decorated the main street
and it really looks pretty.
During the height of Covid,
restaurants added tables on the sidewalk
so that they wouldn't have to close their doors.
It was well received
so it was decided to close off the whole street, permanently,
by adding cobblestones, planters
and places to walk, shop and dine without cars.
The only problem is
that parking is limited around the area
so don't know how it will hold up over the long run.
My friends and I don't go to lunch
in the downtown area for that reason.
Corn Flowers
but I grew up calling them Bachelor Buttons
Nothing too exciting going on around here
so I have been practicing painting...
I have tried tulips many times
and only have this one to show for it.
I think I am getting the hang of the sunflower
but know this can be much better.
California poppies
in case you were wondering.
Hydrangea
my favorite so far.
I think I enjoy painting Bachelor Buttons the best.
At least I am drawing them all freehand now.
If that means I'm improving, I'll take it.
It seems to be three steps forward
and one step back
but it still is a fun way to spend my time.
Have a wonderful week.
