    birth of a blog design graphic These are the lengths that I will go to to be sure that the ideas in my head are absolutely as original as they can possibly be. If I want something to look a certain way, I’ll create my own reference photo and start from scratch. That’s what it’s all about, right?

    That photo, that idea – it represents something to come, something like a rebirth. A new energy, a new outlook, another step forward. It’s a work in progress, and it won’t be too long before you know what I mean.

    There’s a part of me that changes every spring, I think when I get outside and spend some time with my gardening gloves on, I grow right along with the beautiful plants and flowers I mother on a daily basis. When I saw my new stargazer lilies peeking up through the mound of dirt and mulched leaves this morning, it was almost a zen moment. Then my nose filled with the smell of a beautiful sherbet hyacinth, and my ears were ringing with the sounds of multiple birds chirping and chatting.

    Aaah. Can you smell it? I wish I could bottle the scent. I’d make a mint.

    I’ve been working on blog design projects for EW, so I’ll show you those once they’re up in the official portfolio. For me and my own portfolio – I’ll be finishing up that monochromatic cat painting today, I’ll be back later to update you on that one.

    Happy Friday – don’t forget to stop and smell the roses – or whatever you’ve got blooming near you!

    Today’s the first day in a while where it’s warm enough to get out and smell the spring flowers. And then I sneeze – achoo! But it’s still a nice smell. Achoo! 😀

    What a beautiful flower! It’s raining here today, so no chances to go out and smell the flowers.

    I can just smell it’s sweet scent. That is the most beautiful Hyacinth I’ve ever seen. Such pretty colors. I’m actually off to the Nursery to buy a couple more rosebushes.

    Have a great weekend!

    Taba – yes – salmon corally pink – sherbet, I’m calling it! It’s really a gorgeous color, especially next to the lemon sherbet colored ones.

    I hope you all have gorgeous weather this weekend! I’ll be out getting my hands dirty in the landscaping and putting in new plants, seedlings & a bing cherry tree!
