weeds


even though the temperatures are still pretty cool for spring and we had a threat of a frost last night, the grass already needs to be cut. but this is what is growing in between all those blades of grass - these lovely violets.

i think some people might consider them weeds, after all they are growing just like dandelions. makes me wonder what makes a weed a weed?

oh the grass can wait a little...






some new work

love notes - mixed media painting




glorious creatures - found text collage on paper

And yes! Agree with you: the grass can wait!! Loosing those little purple beauties would be almost a crime :-)
