@--->ROSES ARE RED MY LOVE, VIOLETS ARE BLUE<-----@

IT all began when I picked violets like every year, just before hubby cuts the grass for the first time! I thought, wouldn't it be nice to send some violets to my blogging sisters? and brothers if YOU would want some! YOU still can have some but they didn't stay as purple or blue as the song says! I do have a few rose petals too if YOU would still like some, just email me!!! Maybe YOU can use them in your art like I did and then post it for a day!

I was going to post my collage EARTH DAY + a self portrait for Misty but my camera had other ideas! Ka-put! Nothing! I needed batteries once again soOOOOOOo this post would have to wait!

I was sitting on the porch and as usual, the big black bees were flying around soOOOOooo I had the bright idea to style my hair into a beehive for the SP! LOL( Notice my collage gal's hair!!! tee hee)

Earth Day which was Wednesday, I made a collage and added SPRING thingies like crocus's, tulips and my picked violets! I threw out bread, nuts and cherry tomatoes and watched many animals that day as usual out my big picture kitchen window! Click onto the lil cardinal pic to seeeeeeee him and seeeeeeee if YOU can seeeeee the lil red cherry tomatoes! Here is the poem I wrote on that day too!

"EARTH DAY"

is every day

here

I watched crows

tap, tap, tapping

their bills into the bread pieces

against the Earth

one, two, hopefully maybe 3!!!

fly away

junior groundhog walks right by

the cherry tomatoes, sniffing

overlooking the tasty morsels

I tossed into the air

a red, red bright cardinal

lands and looks around

while the Mrs. waits in the tree top

well, if no-one wants this

nice red, red tomato

my favorite color as YOU might guess

mmmMMM! tasty as he flys away

with his Earth Day prize!

I am not posting as much because Spring is a busy time! I did get my livingroom painted "Polished Turquoise" in time for Easter! I LOVE it! It is soOOOOOo bright and cheerful, I call it my Easter room! Days later, my back went out and that was scary! I used to be down with my back at least once a year, but I have gone some years without that happening! I guess all that painting did a # on me! UG!

I'm not a Spring chicken YOU know! LOL

HOW ARE YOU???!!!! I've missed YOU!!!

Just email me if YOU would like an old fahioned snail mail letter! I'll include some dryed flower parts and hope they arrive in one piece!

Here's a song to go along with my pretty violets!
