Is it Spring yet?

Its cold, and it snowed for the most part of yesterday. Thankfully, there is none on the ground.

It is not sunny. Grey skies remain.

I can't help but think of the sunny warm days we had last year at this time. I'd been digging in the garden, raking, and spray painting outside by now!

I have a trailer FULL of treasures!

Saturday, we went 3+ hours north to my paintin' friends house and relieved her of just some of her stash. She is moving and cannot take it all with her.

I have watering cans, wooden bowls, wrought iron chairs, wooden chairs, small shutters, ...enamel pots, kids skates, bags & boxes of I don't know what. It became overwhelming for me. I can only imagine how she felt. "Hoarders"... no...not the way they show on TV, as each & every one of these items can be turned into things of beauty!

I have my own stash, and at times wonder if I will ever get to it all. Now, I have some of Judy's stash too! I don't know where I am going to put it.

The wish for warm sunshine is huge. Then, I could at least start priming, sanding and whatever prep needs doing to get ready to paint. It's too cold though.

It's as though the Universe is deliberately keeping me from creating!

Ah...smart Universe.

I've not finished my income tax, and can think of a hundred things I'd rather do than sit with all that paper, lists and receipts.

It has to be done. I know it. Today will be the day, so that when the sun does shine, I will be able to create completely...without the nagging thoughts of what 'other' I 'should' be doing.
