There are wonderful times, and there are times when you just have to tread water and not drown. <br /><br />Crests and troughs I tell my daughters. <br /><br />And re: the edges you are talking about. They are so exciting right now, coming out of the snow. The light is changing, the snow is melting and making lakes out of fields. Spring is here and it is fantastic. <br /><br />Happy happy joy joy.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-16932976729810335902011-03-21T20:37:10.303-03:002011-03-21T20:37:10.303-03:00Anne Marie... cereal boxes?!Anne Marie... cereal boxes?!Penny Berenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806619078160825540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-57954693384721454442011-03-21T20:36:37.495-03:002011-03-21T20:36:37.495-03:00Penny...I'm patiently waiting for a fresh new ...Penny...I'm patiently waiting for a fresh new world to spring into life.Penny Berenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806619078160825540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-51708395759204342092011-03-21T20:35:12.637-03:002011-03-21T20:35:12.637-03:00Thank you Joe.

Writing always helps. As I reread the entry I told myself to lighten up and just go and play in the studio without any expectations.

Not a huge time commitment, but I do get the odd creativity break. I also get a lot of reading done. Art books, technique books, magazines, trashy novels, cereal boxes.....anything and everything. It's also a good time for a little photography, if the weather cooperates.Anne Marie - Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841030304464450073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-5838871555322823002011-03-21T18:07:03.836-03:002011-03-21T18:07:03.836-03:00Perhaps as spring really does arrive in your home ...Perhaps as spring really does arrive in your home place the in between will be gone and a whole new world will be open to you.
