To you!

Hippity hoppity....

...Easter's on it's way! 

(Even the easter bunny likes a treat now and then!)

Bottled

Something so seemingly simple as a bottle of fine wine
may take years, or decades in the making. 

Here's to viticulture and enology!

More Monsieur!

Please indulge me here, but I just had to write today about Monsieur Olivet.

The AMAZING and wonderful Julie Fortenberry at http://picturebookillustration.blogspot.com/
just posted about Monsieur, and I am tickled!

Julie's blog is a wonderful place to discover videos, links,
images of all things picture book and children's books.
 

I don't know if you've ever visited his very own blog,
but he'd be happy if you did. : )

Please do visit Julie's wonderful blog as well as her website..her illustrations are simply top-notch. Her work is delightful AND smart. I cannot say enough about how much I love her work. 

Thank you so very much, Julie! I am doing the happy dance over here!

April... : )

It's a gorgeous day over here in California..I cannot complain one bit as this is one of those fine Spring days that you just can't help but reflect upon. This morning, there was an amazing pattern of airplane trails in the bright blue sky..it reminded me of the crisscross of an apple pie. : )
