Signs of Spring

The local home improvement store had blooming daffodils for sale today. My daffodils have not started to poke through the dirt yet, but the happy little flowers got me thinking about my own pending garden, so I bought three packs of wood shims. These little inexpensive pieces of wood are great for labeling the plant rows in my garden, and it gives me an opportunity to practice my painting techniques. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination (my stuff wouldn't make the refrigerator!), but I'll be the only one to have to look at my handiwork, so it is all good. I am looking forward to posting progress pictures!
