What is Tattoo Tuesday about?

March 5, 2013

Daffodils yesterday, daffodils today, daffodil tattoos – I sense a theme . . .

The lyricwriter talks about the symbolism some attribute to daffodils and their depiction in tattoo art.

I mentioned earlier that I am knitting hats for the newborns at the county hospital.  Here are some of the latest creations being shown by world-class models.

After several days of temps in the unseasonably high 60s, it is snowing again with a 40 degree drop in temperature overnight.

Here is something else to think about – from HMS Defiant.
