Signs of Spring

One of the first signs of spring around here. :-) I am always excited when the pussywillows show up, because that means spring is just around the corner.
And, since imitation is the most sincere form of flattery (are you sure about that??), I tried the sepia/spatter action in PSE7 that Becky used the other night on her tulip shot.
Thank you to those of you who have asked about R. He is home and we are working on getting him better and stronger. We had to go back to the hospital last week for a couple of days for a transfusion and "tune-up", and another transfusion today, but he is slowly but surely getting stronger and better. He is eating regular food and all the repaired GI system is working properly, so once we get the "start-up" bugs ironed out things will look a lot better. He will be on a highly restrictive diet for the rest of his life, but he HAS the rest of his life!!! :-)

  12. I think your first shot is just amazing. I love the color. There are still no signs of spring in Maine but I keep looking. So glad that R is well on his way to health. I am always keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers.
