Don't Give Up

Walking away from something temporarily can sometimes be a good thing.  The crocus painting that I showed you in my last post did not end up in the garbage after all.

This is the point it was at when I was going to give up on it.
I went back to work on it yesterday afternoon and today.  Now am feeling better about it.

It is back to being quite cold here today.  Last week, people were wearing shorts and sandals here. Today I was back in a winter coat with a scarf and gloves. But I don't mind. With cooler, more normal spring weather, the display in my garden will last longer.  The way it was going, summer was going to arrive before spring even had a chance!

Here's a quote I found today that works quite well with my crocus painting challenge.

When the world says "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
