today i am... loving springtime!

well, i've unintentionally backed out on my agreement with myself to make a thing a day. it's been 4 days now, and my poor little sketchbook has not even been cracked open. don't get me wrong- i've mad plenty of stuff the last 4 days, but not with my thing-a-day goal in mind, and not based on my weekly themes. sigh. should i keep going? should i try it again in may?

try it again in may. and not feel guilty about not making it for the whole month. it's ok!!

it's getting to be spring time here in boulder (finally!), and ryan and i spent some time digging in our garden yesterday, uncovering worms, planting seeds... it was great fun. the shot above is from a flickr site-- an interesting shot of spring coming in the lake como area of italy. what's up with those trees? so wierd.
