Hints of Spring

The days are staying light longer and temperatures seem to be milder.

Spring is beginning; the small birds that sing every morning remind me it's so.

(As does a little bird from Japan...xo)

Some decorative pieces from the Met.

The panel of blues and turquoises is Egyptian.

I sat at my drawing table for a short time yesterday and rearranged the clutter.

Hope to be working again soon.

It's all about time management...

Lions and a Priestess

I never really noticed before just how many lions there are in 

the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Here are just a few that I was able to photograph.

The very lovely Priestess Tagerm is positioned

inside the Temple of Dendur.

On Monday I took my brother down to Doylestown for lunch.

We ate at a terrible restaurant but the coffee shop where we had dessert was cute.

Tired from our NYC adventure the day before

we decided to just take a ride home up the Delaware River.

I was so thrilled to see the winter flowers had come up!

The world is beginning to wake up again

*smile*

Back home D made me the most amazing raspberry swirl cheesecake!

Not only is he a great brother but a wonderful baker too.

The next day he boarded a plane back to Florida.

The apartment is very quiet...

I've had a bit of a relapse in my health but hope to be feeling 

well enough to start making things soon.

For now, back to bed.
