Illustration Friday's Theme - Craving
A cup of coffee and a letter to a loved one.
Glaze on Pottery
Two things I crave - my morning cup of coffee, and a loving word from my son when he's away at school. I painted this piece this past year ~ while our first born was enjoying his first year at the University of Va. I miss having him around the house ~ and will treasure every day of summer with the whole family back together again ~ our son, our daughter, and our sweet pup Rory.

SIX THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SPRING

1) It's one day closer to summer.
2) The days are longer.
3) The daffodils are in bloom.
4) My children are out of school for spring break.
5) I can open up the windows and let the fresh air in.
6) We can sit outside on weekend mornings to drink coffee, read the paper, and watch the birds building their nests.
