Quote for the Day - Millet

Jean Francois Millet - The Gleaners

It is not in a day or a year that Fra Angelico will tell us the beauty of holiness, that Giotto will confide his interpretation of the meaning of life, that Millet will tell us the simplicity and dignity that belong to labour on the soil... (Ourselves, Charlotte Mason)

Quote for the Day - Giotto

Giotto - The Last Judgement

It is not in a day or a year that Fra Angelico will tell us the beauty of holiness, that Giotto will confide his interpretation of the meaning of life... (Ourselves, Charlotte Mason)

Signs of Spring

There are definite signs of spring here in the great Midwest! The syncopated 'Huuuummm, thunk!' of the sump pumps working away keeping the basement clear of melting snow, the gurgle of flowing water into the not-so-dry rock creek in the garden, and the squish of steps across the thawing ground sing out the harmonies of "SPRING".

On Sunday, I was excited to record the date the robins returned to our yard in our Book of Firsts.  And here, peeking through the crusted earth...

The first daffodil shoots!

Leave a comment and tell us about spring where you are!

Fra Angelico - The Annunciation

Quote for the Day

"The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball." Doug Larson 

Enjoying another snowy day in the Midwest!
 

Get outside, make a snowman, have a snowball fight, go sledding!

If you're in the UK, look for the snowdrop flowers; if you are in the south, enjoy the spring rain & watch for budding trees!
