I’ve been known to diatribe about something, and then turn around and contradict myself due to an urgent “change of heart”. Awhile back I was holding forth (I think it was on http://northernreflections.wordpress.com/) on how Spring in Wisconsin is supposed to be cold and rainy, how we can’t expect it to be anything other than cold and rainy. I guess at that point I was just happy to see a Canada goose!
But now I am turning around and contradicting myself. I’m ready to at least hope Spring will be something other than cold and rainy. What did I do in those pre-watercolor years without a palette from which to express my desires! I guess a recalcitrant Spring was compensated by colorful yarns, and wishful thinking was projected by my painterly poems.
Well now I’ve added paints. Okay . . . so let’s get on with it: “Yard Sale” above, and “My Arbor and Beyond” below.
Southern Wisconsin, at least my garden, will have to dry out considerably before we sink my still-in-the-box-from-HOME DEPOT-arbor between two old-fashioned, hardy rose bushes. But yard sales could begin most any slightly warmer weekend, albeit by changing the title to “garage sales”.
Meanwhile, I paint. 🙂 And, as afore mentioned in another place, for those of us who love the growing things A COLD AND RAINY SPRING IS ALWAYS THE BEST!
