if it is March Spring cannot be far away!

March 1st snuck up on me yesterday..... as I was waking up and doing my morning computer work it suddenly dawned on me that if it was the first, I had a newsletter that needed to go out! Egads! It has been such a busy, eventful time that it nearly slipped my mind. The tricky part was that with everything going on I had not written the newsletter yet:):):):) I STILL need that intern!!!!!

I put together the newsletter, along with pictures of the new space and the floorplan and a map, and ZOOOOOOMMM....... out it went to friends and relatives and collectors who always expect the newsletter in their inbox at the beginning of each month.

A letter arrived in my inbox yesterday from my good friend Mary on the left coast. When I was making the HUGE decision whether or not to stay at the art center I had written to her... all the details that I have not gone into here... and the letter she wrote back warmed my heart and reminded me of the grace that surrounds me in my life, and the good friends who are always there for me.

I am seeing some tiny buds on the tall trees outside of our apartment building here in the burbs of DC... and I cannot WAIT for Spring this year. Lots of pictures to take and experiences to have. Life is so good.
