I came across this little feller while I was out running on the levee trail this morning. This seasonal shift is certainly welcome, and I feel like I’m making a welcome internal shift as well. The flowering pear tree in my front yard is in full bloom (my street is lined with them and their foul odor but at least they’re lovely to look at when you plug your nose), daffodils and crocuses (crocii?) are rearing their heads.. even some stray sunflower seeds that I’ve thrown out for the squirrels have managed to plant themselves and have started sprouting out of the soil.
Today I shipped out five originals to a buyer in Texas and ran my printers into the ground getting cards and prints ready for Thursday. Thursday evening I’ll be at the Sion Spring Fling, a fundraiser for Notre Dame de Sion in Kansas City. Things are really starting to pick up and the art festival season will be in full swing before I know it (perhaps even before I’m ready for it..).
