Spring is near down here, folks. With that comes a lotta pollen. Then rain and those mean ass thunderstorms and tornadoes. I’m not looking forward to that but the warmer weather, I am. I never got to show you one of the few sandstorms I saw when I was in Saudi Arabia last year on account of it not showing up real strong on my camera. I’d prefer one of those any day compared to the tornadoes here.
If I knew you like that, I’d impose and invite myself to your house ’til this rash of tornadoes passed but you don’t know me like that either, which would make for real strange company. But I’ll tell you this. I was in the National Guard and after sleeping in the freezing cold woods back-to-back with my foxhole buddy, I could damn near sleep anywhere. Well, not anywhere, when I really ponder worse circumstances than that but you know what I mean. Not to say that you’re sleeping anywhere but like I said already, you know what I mean. Pretend you do anyway ’cause we gotta move on.
In the meantime, it’s still nippy some days down here and well, the weather’s pretty much what one talks about to fill dead air and while I very much appreciate you allowing me to waste your time, I won’t hound you with redundant talk about the weather anymore. I will, however, think Spring…

I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.
I adore the paintings. You get such weird weather Totsy. I’d pack up little totsy and come to Cali for a spell. We might get earthquakes but tornados are unlikely. Plus, it’s 67 and partly cloudy every day.
Thank you, Linda. Yes, the weirdness is due soon. Not looking forward at all. Today was nice though. Gonna enjoy I get while I get it.
It’s starting here in DC, too. Flowers and chores springing up all over. I think I’d like to be on the beach in your aim ting Totsy. I’ve been cold all day until now!
Don’t mention the chores. I’ve got leaves to tend from the fall.
I’m leaving mine for someone else.
Nice artistry!
Thank you.
You’re making some great art! I can’t quite wrap my head around spring with all the new snow on the ground, but I appreciate the thought.
This is older work, actually.
Enjoy that snow.
Agh! the pollen I nearly forgot. Thanks for the heads up! LOL
Yep, the pollen.
Wow…You’ve been busy painting…great! the still-life’s have a Picasso/Cubist feel to them, yet hot with color…nice.
These are older pieces sold some time ago. I hope to get back to this for larger pieces once the warm weather sets in.
Tots,
the last photo of woman in red bikini thrills me. I LOVE! xx
That’s Beatrice.
Fabulous art, Totsy! Let’s hope those nasty spring storms don’t materialize this year.
I hope not. They can be quite devastating.
Thank you.
Fabulous art, I could hang it anywhere in my house. You know, you could come visit a spell, but we have tornado after tornado after hail storm after well, they don’t call it tornado alley for no good reason.
I cannot wait for spring to be sprung, don’t care about a little old high wind. Want summer to get here and bring on the bake shop. Good ole’ Texas high heat, please.
Thank you.
The winds whip so ferociously against my windows, it makes me nervous. My son’s in Texas, by the way. Little Totsy just flew back from there yesterday. I shall visit soon.
Is that Beatrice there on the beach? Whoever it is, I like how she’s a real woman. Not one of those painfully emaciated women in magazines. Great art!
That’s Beatrice alright. Made her way onto my post. I’m gonna reckon she’ll love what you said about her.
Thank you.
” Pretend you do anyway ’cause we gotta move on.” Totsymae, you slay me! You painted me so well on the beach.
Thanks woman!
I’d best stop eating so late at night or that’ll be me too.
Tornado’s are terrifying. I love the paintings.
Yes, they are. Not looking forward to it at all….Thank you.
Love the paintings, especially The Red Bikini. You bring such a lush feeling to the subject.
Lush? I like that. Thank you.
Hi, my friend, please don’t publish this, just wanted to send you the link where I have opened another blog – so will likely not be posting here much anymore, If you want to visit http://whisperbreath.wordpress.com/
Thank you for letting me tag along. I’ll be checking you out.
You are such a great artist and writer! I’m enjoying perusing your blog while I wile away a long day at home with the flu. As a Northern Illinois girl who is about as sick of snow as a person can be, I will gladly welcome spring, damned pollen and all.
You’re quite welcome to come hang out with me until the pollen passes, Totsy. It’s still the dry season here.
Love your paintings, as usual.
