Spring Brain Virus

Yesterday was nice and sunny and warm. Today is chilly. And I learn another illogical function of my brain. In fact, if my brain were a computer, I'd be running the anti-virus software to see what on earth is going on.


Why would I be surprised that the weather forecast button on my iTouch I kept pressing at lunch to see if the outside temp was improving, I say, why would I be surprised to see that conditions did not change for the better even though I set my hot tea right next to my iTouch?

Lollipop Flowers

This week's art project was another fun one, and is found here. The flowers are based on the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser (don't you feel bad for him when he had to learn to spell that name? No wonder he turned to art). 


Miss Dog Lover's has a splattery background:

I think I made my flowers a bit too small but I like the colors:

and I guess you can tell Mr Music had the Cheshire Cat on his mind: 

Totally Frederick

This weekend we here in Bananaland are experiencing the glorious sunny bright days of fall. Perfect.


And on these days I always feel like Leo Lionni's Frederick, "gather(ing) sun rays for the cold dark winter days." Today I find myself humming snatches from two songs as I hang laundry, do yard patrol, walk the dog, pull weeds, paint my nails outside, anything to gather some more sun rays.

First, an old kids' song with the chorus: 

God’s love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, 

  softer than a sigh. 

 God’s love is deeper than the deepest ocean, 

  wider than the sky. 

 God’s love is brighter than the brightest star 

  that shines every night above; 

 And there is nothing in this world 

  that can ever change His love.  

and second, the swelling part of an old Genesis song: 
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
