It’s hard to deny that spring has sprung now that I’ve got two colors of crocus creating a riot of color in my front garden. I can’t say I’m unhappy about the premature arrival of what is typically the most fickle of seasons, but I can admit that I am more than a little uncomfortable … Continue reading Weather or not

International Women’s Day is over
Last night Lark + Lily represented at a lovely event held at the Opalka Gallery at Sage College in Albany.

It isn't because science isn't really my thing, or that I'm opposed to exploring a topic of interest, it's just that it turns into so much work without much reward.
