There’s a squirrel in our yard who seems courageous enough to be twirling a ribbon while we watch, actually. Might be related to the depicted ones.

I love the colors in this adorable painting, Beth. The swirls above the heads in lavendar and the beautiful turquoise clouds are remarkable. I loved the quote, too. Happy Spring and every special other thing you could possibly dream about, wishing for you, Beth! xo
