    I love the pops of color among the snow (especially the little sweet whisper of a violet). Your watercolor sketches look like snow angels. Are you making these every day?

    so lovely Carol... we had our first snow a few days ago, and I'll share photos tomorrow... all gone and in the 50's today... all the plants are so confused, I see buds and new leaves growing on plants that still have golden leaves drying/dying.

    I like the contrast between the snow and the bright colours. Believe it or not we had snow on our local mountains today! Thats less than a week after the hottest November night in 111 years! Some weather!
