Springtime's a comin' ~ Eventually
February 6, 2009
I'm not anxious for spring yet - truly. This year more than any other in the past I am surviving winter quite handily. My life is brimming with creative ideas and energy. I'm blessed with healthy, happy children, good friends, a husband I adore, a mostly warm house (thanks Dad ...
Indoor Sunshine
February 5, 2009
I'm such a fair weather photographer. When the days get really cold and really snowy (most of the winter, or so it seems) I'm largely indoors. But in my defense, it's not totally my fault that I'm such a wimp about taking my camera outside, I do live in Maine ...
