Random Pics:

Bee-YOU-tee-full flower pics! Only one pitiful purple one (like your top pick - I thought it was a crocus when it was first coming up, but I don't think that's what it is - what is that?) bloomed for us. Probably because I didn't water anything. And then the couple of hard freezes we've had... and it doesn't get much sun. I think we had one daffodil bloom, one orange bulb of some sort, and that one. some neighbors had tons of daffodils - I guess I'll have to ask them or learn how to take care of them - it's so weird having a lawn and flowerbeds to take care of! You mean, I have to water them? I only know about native plants, and mother nature waters those! :)

Those are some sexy shades on Tucker, too - ha!

Beautiful flowers! And what are all those fantastic artworks?

Gorgeous flower photos. Yay Spring with Mel! And I KNEW I saw some of that art wall somewhere. Just a little corner of sumpin sumpin but have been meaning to go ask you to show me more. You read my mind! Love love love the art. Great! And I will go look for a Miro that is real close to the one upper left. I printed out the Senpa looking at the map photo and hung it in my cubby at work but I'm going to replace it with Senpa looking at map with ART. Yeah. Oh, Tuck, QUIT it. :-D

OK, check out these Miro paintings. See how that one on your wall would fit right in?

[Mel]

Too cool! Yes, my kids art would fit right in! I think the art teacher taught them about Miro, it was 8 years ago for that one. Its interesting how much emotion you can read into the little faces. Love the primary colors too.

[Deb S]

I thought the art teacher might have done that. On the other wall are Kandinski like circles. And you said the art teacher was great and I agree!

[Mel]

Thanks, she's a great person too, pretty good with the kiddies. But she has these amazing lesson plan books that cover world art, masterpieces - I coveted them, yes I did! Can you see the weaving one in the corner, by the lamp, small, round and pink, using paperplates and yarn? I love that one, and also, the pink heart in the blue ocean, my daughter did that the first year she really played with paints - 4 or 5 maybe? Treasure! Where oh where am I going to keep all this stuff?

[Deb S]

I just looked at them all hyperclose again. They really are awesome. Yeah, this stuff MUST be kept. I'm keeping all the kids' artwork too. I have stuff from when my nieces and nephew were real little. I just realized that some of them are starting to fade. So it has to be added to the pile to be digitally photographed. I'll keep the originals but I don't want to lose all the color.
