      Thank you, Donna. I saw these outside our local post office. Then I found the quote about finding beauty in humble places. My tulips should open any day!

      Thanks, Linda! It was fun to apply the filters. Sorry, I can’t comment on others blogs until our internet comes back. 😕

        No problem at all Terri. Too bad your internet did not go down while you were away.

        I worked from home for 13 years, so it was a problem when it went down during the workday. After the ice storm in 2023, having it down four days, two of them work days, did not go over well with my boss. I didn’t think to go to the library, but most of our city had no power or internet, so I got a lot of reading done.

    I love how there are flowers blooming everywhere. Here in SoCal, where some say we don’t have seasons, we absolutely do… you just have to be aware of the subtle changes. I hope your tulips bloom soon!

    These are so pretty! They look like paintings. Actually they’d be good inspiration for water color cards.

      Thank you, Anne! Some florals are a little “plain Jane” right now so I fixed them up.
