#Mondog time of the week. I forgot to wear anything green at all today, but I didn't get pinched. Happy St. Patrick's Day from someone with no Irish blood in him.
Dogwood is pretty, and so is Kengo sunbathing.
Have a good week ahead, everyone.

While it may be windy and cold outside right now, my geraniums soak up the sun and wait for their time to flourish. Sometimes, you need to sit out for a season and conserve your energy. Nothing lasts forever. If you’re in the middle of a storm right now, invest in your health and prepare for your eventual blooming season. It’s coming.

These vintage coloured shell buttons are making me think spring!

I just stepped out to transplant taros in the garden,

saw the weather, shut the door, huddled back in the cozy blanket.

Spring has arrived

Annual spring snowflake excursion - this time shot backlit with a wide angle lens. I got a used Tamron 15-30mm Gen1 for cheap a few months back, which lead to the current sunstar addiction. It may take another couple of months to get that out of the system.

Damp spring buds opening.

We had a stormy night but thankfully sustained no damage around the house. A cloudy start but now it's sunny and warm. We had a good 2+hour walk and saw some trees fallen. We are both tired but needed it.

i'm challenging myself to step out of my comfort zone (mugs + cups) to improve my teapot forms. not ready to commit, but am going to TRY and make a teapot every day.

This is unfired porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!

hope you are having a good weekend!

I love these darling little Viola faces and their sweet scent so much. They have been self-seeding into all of our planters for years, not one looking exactly like the other #BloomScrolling #SilentSunday #spring #gardening #OrganicGardening #balconyGarden

A hint of spring, on a gray afternoon in South Philly.

It was Kengo's spa day. He got all clean, nails ground, teeth brushed, and got a teal bandana.
The forecast storm is still away, but wind has picked up. We're staying home today, and it's supposed to be clear by sunrise tomorrow, then we'll go out.

Purple Crocuses

Took my very 1st robin photo in March 2021. I celebrated by beginning a new tradition. I decided that my 1st robin photo each spring would mark my official 1st day of the season, 3/20 or not.

Caught this handsome devil yesterday, so, my Spring-eth Hath Sprung-eth!

Hopefully this is the last return to winter we get this year.
