Arriving soon new painting

It is way passed sleepy time but I had to say, my new painting is almost done. It has an arched stone bridge which I have always admired. I do believe I have been watching too much DIY. Hopefully it will be posted tomorrow if the weather holds and we don't have freezing temperatures.
This winter has been something else, very cold here and then we had a few days with sunny warm weather and all my spring daffodils and tulips decided to come up. I have two blooms on one of the daffodils, I think I may get a shock tomorrow.
I have also noticed in the last few weeks an upswing in the people connecting to Twitter. I have my posts on the right side of this blog if you care to join me I am:

Spring has sprung!

The flowers know it is spring and have arrived in brilliant yellows, pinks, blues, lavenders and purples.
The bulbs so lovingly planted the day after Christmas, have met my expectations. I can enjoy this beautiful view any time day or night from my kitchen window. Makes me almost feel like I should do dishes or some thing like that.
They will look so pretty Sunday for Easter!
I would imagine the daffodils will really show up tomorrow night for full moon.
Happy first day of spring.

Spring Cleaning

I started my spring cleaning today, it seem like I just did fall cleaning. I started with my house plants and they are a little upset with me. It was 31 degrees when I sat them on the back porch (in the sun) and really flushed them with water. After that I put them back inside and found them new spots. I think I may have upset a couple little spiders doing all this. Oh well, better the spiders than me!!
The robins received a treat this morning. The bird bath was frozen so I put some hot water in it and they thought they had their own private sauna.. The water that was draining off the porch from the plants they enjoyed as well.. I stood inside the kitchen window and watched them play.. Also a hawk made off with a black bird. I may not really like all the black birds that hog the feeder, but I didn't like to see death in my back yard either..
Yah, I know, I'm just an old softy when it comes to the wild life. I think the fox that goes through my back yard may have had a romantic encounter. She is looking a bit chubby, if you know what I mean..
Time to get back to my writing, Janie is waiting anxiously to be released.

Oh-Oh!!

People that know me or have read about me know that several of my creations have came from dreams... Right now someone is saying, "Oh-Oh Sylvia had a dream".. Yes I did!!
BONSAI!!!!!!
I have had three red Japanese Maples for almost two years, protecting, watering, and they are still so very small an vulnerable. Then it came to me. I seen that they wanted to become a beautiful Bonsai tree..
I can hardly contain myself, either that or I have a bad case of spring fever. I have a bit of studying to do, but the design is in my head...
I promise I will put a picture in just as soon as I get it started...
Ahhh!!!! I said spring was just around the corner, and right now I know the people in the Northeast can't see it for all the snow...But trust me, all the signs are there... This morning a beautiful Blue bird was setting on the Eagles head at the end of my flag pole...Oh where Oh where is my camera when I need it... I did get a good picture of my husbands Shamrock plant... It produced eight stalks of flowers for Valentines day...WOW!!! Now how is that for getting flowers and never leaving the house...
