". Arranged Words: Like A Lion

Like A Lion



A little blurry...the wind had plans.

What happened to Tuesday?  If you are new here, I generally post on Tuesday and it slipped away from me this week, so for today it's Tuesday's post on Wednesday.

March roared in like a lion.  Last night the windows rattled and freezing rain splattered against the glass in a fury, keeping me awake but still I felt grateful to be tucked into my nice warm bed. If the old wives tales be true, then March will exit softly on little lambs feet. I'm looking forward to it.

After shopping in a few fabric stores, I finally found some ribbon. It's not exactly what I had in mind,  although it does work well...so airy and pretty.
# 3 in my Staying Alive Series. An Eastern Meadowlark and Eastern Flowering Dogwood.  I hope to paint this picture sometime soon. 
Meadowlarks like cover so they hop about in the tall grass but seek out a high point for  singing. It's a wonderful welcome to spring song.



For those in the north country, soon there will be "pussy willows and cattails" (from a Gordon Lightfoot song) and bird song. 



'Til Next time...Enjoy!

That is a beautiful Meadowlark drawing, I can't wait to see your painting of it. We didn't have snow but a major rainstorm that rattled our windows. I did go out in the rain for a walk, but I was happy to warm up by the fireside afterwards. We are having beautiful wild-flowers because of the rain this year.
