It is so cold here, not above freezing and the wind is creating a big wind chill. I am more then halfway through my break, sadly. It has been good so far, but the weather is making me crazy. I wanted to get outside and rake my garden at least, trim the plant's old growth down. Instead I paint and do other work. It has also been sporadically snowing for days. In honor of the hope of spring and the various major religious holidays of this time I am going to post some flowers.
