happy spring

Happy Spring Everyone! This past weekend Louise and I took on the path in the woods, behind my home. It has been wet and muddy, so we had been staying away the last couple of weeks. When I opened the shop, I sold my home and moved into a condo, to feel more financially secure. It has been ten years now, the shop's continued growth made us move three times and I think we finally have enough space for a while. During these moves, the task of moving into a home seemed like an overwhelming endeavor,  so it has taken a back burner.

Restricted to a balcony that has northern exposure, I missed planting flowers and experiencing that magical feeling you get when things start budding and the punches of color that brighten your mornings. A few years back I decided to plant small things, here and there, in the back woods of my building; sort of little treasures that come back year after year just to make me happy.

Here are a few images of the fruit of our labor (Louise has been helping) and a few other sightings we had!

Enjoy the warm weather! Happy spring!
