Scarlett McCaws

“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine.”

Scarlett McCaws – 2.5″ x 3.5″ Watercolor ATC


“We’re Sam and Steve, the Scarlet McCaws.  The thing we like best about spring is all the fresh gossip!  I don’t know if you realize this, but guys gossip way more than the ladies do.”

This little Spring swap ATC went to Jean in Palo Alto, CA.

I have missed painting and blogging over the last couple weeks.  My husband is still in the hospital (today makes 2 weeks) but he is getting stronger and I keep hoping to bring him home soon.  He is still battling pneumonia in one lung and some infection.  I appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts going our way.
