DRAWING FLOWERS, HOPING FOR SPRING

We still have snow on the ground, though we've had days of melting.  Nonetheless, snow is predicted again.  Had enough melting up against the house that I saw iris shoots poking up.  Probably other things are growing under the now.  Some of these things I've seen have their own timing despite the weather.  I liken it to the fact that at times God has his own timing, despite what I want.  My challenge is to wait with patience.  So, even though we still have a foot and a half of snow on the ground, I am trying to wait with patience.  GOD, are you hearing me???

These are some of the silly drawings I've sent off in our Facebook swap.  Little pieces of art going all over the world.  Some have gone to Canada, England, Africa, Australia and of course, the U.S.  So fun to think of one's art going all over the world.  Hope you like them.
