around this time of year, we midwesterners are darn right giddy about springtime being “just” around the corner. we look for signs of it, we relish in COLORS that have been lost in the dark & cold of winter. today! ahhhhhh! it’s nearly 40 degrees (now that’s a minny heat wave for me:) and the sun is the brightest I’ve seen in a long time. have a look here for more gorgeous green, & if you feel so inclined to join in, please do. tomorrows color I believe is vibrant pinks raspberries & fuscia etc… check out the discussions link over there. can you feel it? i do believe we’ve nearly made it through to the other side into spring… bring it!!!
come join in over here for the love of color week take a picture of something near you that is the color of the day, todays color is green;)

the coffee shop downtown. i sometimes treat myself to a coffee from here at night but it had just closed and so has a 20+ year friendship with someone I never thought I would close the door on. but like everything else in life, you have to roll with it, or get run over by it. & so I have closed that door, & this time I have thrown away the key.

man walks on and
karma follows him
along with his shadow.
flipping through a vintage birthday date book, the above was the precept for todays date. I believe in karma. you get what you put out there.

i wanted to get in front of the camera because the lighting was just so great here before I headed out the door & because I wanted to show you my favorite jacket of late. i have worn it all cold winter long with something heavy underneath. it makes me feel stylish even during harsh midwestern winters. i found it at my favorite store which just so happens to be g o o d w i l l.

I am ready for spring but scenes like this, early in the morning,
after a heavy overnight snowfall remind me that even in the dark of
winter if you look, something pretty is there. the trees that line the
streets nearby are old and tall. they meet at the top & form a
canopy and when it snows it’s like another world out there.

people in a hurry
even emailing seems to be losing ground
i miss certain things.
