TRANSFORMATION
Every year the same thing….. Spring..then Summer..then Fall, and finally Winter!
The transformation from Winter to Spring I love. All the dirty snow on the sides of the roads starts to melt and glimpses of grass start to appear here and there. People start to change how they dress. No more winter boots or heavy knitted sweaters. Planning for Spring Break and how to plant their gardens is high on their agendas!
The same birds seem to return to my yard and build their nests on the same post on the Pergola. (they can’t really be the same birds). I enjoy them all Spring and Summer…until the Fall starts to creep in. THEN, before you know it…WINTER!
The transformation is brutal to me! My bones start to ache and the house always feels cold. Imagine how the tiny birds must feel!
I have create this piece depicting the birds actually enjoying the cold and the first flakes of snow. I even gave them “sweaters”!

I can almost hear the birds chirping Al!!
So fun giving them all sweaters!
I really like you colours and quirky fabrics. Lovely!!
Ah! I like your writing as well as your imagery. Good one!
Al, the treasured time watching as you work on your precious stories and the art that brings us smiles… treasure!
Wonderful depiction of transformation.
Love the sweaters – and the snowflakes!! We in Florida don’t get much of a seasonal transformation, but after about 7 or 8 months of summer, we do look forward to cooler temperatures. Thanks for the winter scene!
