Ah, visions of Spring!
I know some of you have already had Spring, or are in a different zone where this is coming into your (gasp) winter!
But today, we are having a typical Rocky Mountain Spring:
snow.
Yep, snow.
7 - 10 inches of the white wet stuff.
poor little squirrel.
good thing he has a tail...

But....
Spring is still in the air...sort of.
I have lovely jonquils and daffodils blooming in my gardens.
At least, they were blooming yesterday. Today they will freeze and turn brown and wilt-y. Oh well, there's always hope for the coming tulips!!

"Nature has been for me,
as long as I remember,
a source of
solace,
inspiration
adventure
and delight;
a home, a teacher, a companion."
- Lorraine Anderson
vintage clip
Here is a cute miniature scene. It comes with a 'Christmas' tree, but you can decorate that or not, as you wish.
from Karen's whimsy site
no, not me, another Karen!!!
for some strange reason, my computer saved the Large Tree in a weird format that I can't open.
Sorry.
Still learning this foreign language called "computer-speak".
I bet if you printed at 300% or so (play around with the sizing) the one large tree, it would be the right size for the 'Christmas tree'.
:0)
Have fun,
and don't forget to take pictures to share with us!

Another reason I love Spring is all the Spring babies!!

But every Spring
It groweth young again,
And fairies sing."

at the right of my blog you will find some of my favorite web sites.
This comes from the Music Library site.
Well, it's that time again where I need to close.
It is still snowing outside. I don't mind. Living in a semi-arid climate -
we can always use the moisture!!
I best go turn on our fireplace, Turner loves to lay in front of it and get all toasty warm!
until next time...
