the need for...

...colour

can be fulfilled in  many different things

bright red poppies on a new purchase

mint green thread worked into a new doily

almost done and ready to be blocked

or your crazy cuckoo crackers christmas cactus confused by all the wacky weather

so it blooms a few days before easter...

but what colour!!

.... keeping the hope and dream alive for this 

delicious doily

when reality looks like this!!!!!

I HAD to make it

look at what it's called

.....

feathers are everywhere 

inside and out

 one last look at Virgil

he's gone from here

the sound of dripping is only interrupted by the sound of the birds

chirping and trilling for all they are worth

calling Spring to come back

and warm their little feet

the bird feeder is full and very very busy

til the next time...

oh hang on just a sec husband has arrived from the mailbox to

 theroomontheleft 

with one of those expressions.

a

 IboughtyousomethingandIhopeyoulikeitcozit'sforyou

I told you he buys me presents

his latest whim

Pez dispensers

old ones

and not so old ones

because Nemo isn't so old

but he's 

so cute

and he's got

COLOUR

no feathers here just fins

thank you husband...

now

 where's the candy to fill his tummy 

oh

...........................

all of it
