lovin' the spring flowers

I've been waiting for the bluebonnets to bloom for a couple of weeks now.   They are finally blooming!  They still have a ways to go before they are in full bloom, but they are still very pretty.  Roy and I went for a walk with the dogs yesterday.  There is a place where the bluebonnets were fairly thick and Lucy was standing in them.  When I tried to take a picture of her, she moved.  I still wanted the picture, so I took one of her posed.  In the mean time, Larry was in the back ground, sitting and staying, just like I was telling Lucy to do!  He's such a good dog!!

I took a few more pictures of the wild flowers today and yesterday.  These are some of my favorite wild flowers.

new to blogging

This is my 3rd attempt at putting up a blog. I think that I may be successful this time! I tried blog.com, which was a total failure because for some reason I could never get them to send my activation email. After numerous attempts to rectify that, I deleted that blog and went to Word Press. There I found that I had to download the program and that sounded like more than I wanted to do. A friend suggested that I try Blogger, so here I am.

I still have a lot to learn and am not deleting my WP blog as I think that I can be more artistic with WP and since this blog is going to be about art in my life, I think that the blog needs to be as pretty as possible. It will, however take me a while to get the WP blog up and running.

My blog will be my thoughts about art and life. Life will include things that occur as I go through my daily life. Some of that will be art and some of it will be things that I think are important that I want to share with the world. I hope that people will enjoy my blog and follow me as I go along.

The picture is of my garden this spring. I love gardening and it is art that I create with plants. I'm not totally responsible for the beautiful garden. Roy often gives me objects to put in my garden. But, the good Lord helps me a lot. In this case, he placed the wild bluebonnets and the verbenas in the garden. Also in the picture is my dog, Abraham.
