Seeing how the only thing I'm intelligent enough to change about my blog is... letters, words and choosing a new template.  Here's a fresh template design.  Not altered of course, because that would take some computer savvy.  I actually tried to change my avatar.  I even found the screen and tried to download a mini watercolor I had done years ago into that little box thingee.  It supposedly downloaded to 100% but then never uploaded.  Is that right?  I'm staring at my screen whispering... is that it?  Do I push "save changes?"  What now?  I'm still represented by that little funky twiggy lady with books on her head and curly legs.  I also have the frustrating little porch right here on my blog... which makes me look at the little pad outside my front door and think, "I wish it were a big, Southern Porch."

I quit.

'Puters frustrate me.

Why can't I just paint my screen and have it magically change???

Okay.  enough of that.

What do you typically look forward to when spring is right around the corner?   I yearn for warm weather, flowers, green grass, spring winds, my kids running in the back yard with their arms flailing, return of the summer birds, my garden, nature walks in the park, flying kites and air hogs airplanes, picking strawberries at the local U-Pick, washing my windows and smelling the sweet breezes through them, hosing out my garage (and van! LOL) and putting a smooth coat of paint on the walls, thunderstorms, spring bulbs peeking here and there, and fresh mulch around my gardens.  Spring sure is a season of "relief".
