Thoughts of Spring

These are photos of a journal spread I recently created. I guess this reflects our weather, here, lately. It's been a roller coaster of a couple sunny days with mild temps then turning to cold, rain, hail, and even snow in the hill towns. Everyones' thoughts are of Spring days.... Continue reading
