The First Day of Spring!

"And the Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."

Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Complete Poems

A Friend of Mine

... made this gorgeous wallhanging! Isn't that a fantastic piece!

She is such a magnificent artist!

Thank you for allowing me to put these pictures on this blog!

If you look closely, you'll discover stars where you don't expect them!

I really think this wonderful piece of art should hang in a cathedral,

or in an old, remodeled factory hall,

but it looks nice in her room, too!

This is how it all began,

it took her two years from start to finish...

International Women's Day

"Extremists have shown what frightens them most:

a girl with a book."
