Second on the 2nd: Welcome Spring

Susi showed a post from 2014, so I decided to, also.  So many of my internet friends, followers, and readers haven't seen this post, so that is why I decided to share it again.  I call it

Welcome Spring, if only in my dreams

The full post is reprinted below.

I created this Spring into Spring spread in my collage inspired altered book to welcome the Spring Solstice, 2014.

From the first floral bud that peeks out of the ground, and the first butterfly

that visits,

to the bright, nearly cloudless skies,

we in the Northern Hemisphere are welcoming the Spring Solstice,


and looking for real signs of spring, if only in our dreams.

It appears I didn't bother sharing the materials I used to create this spread, but I'm sure you can tell I used a lot of paint, a clipola in all of the flower heads, and two butterfly erasers.  The stems and leaves were cut from a page I colored green.  The words were also printed using paint.

Now it's time to share your own Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple and everyone is welcome to join the fun look back.  All you have to do is bring back a post that you are especially proud of, or perhaps one you shared before anyone knew your blog existed.  Any post, any genre, any artistic endeavor is acceptable.  Then link below (direct links only, please) and Bleubeard and I, along with other Second on the 2nd friends, will be by to visit.  Please be aware this link is only open for five days, so linking on the 2nd is preferred.
