Thankful Thursday - Colorful Postcard

I received this lovely postcard from Patty.  She combined almost all of the colors I saw while shopping the other day.  I think I bought a tee shirt in about every color. Ha.  Thanks so much Patty. I really like all of these colors.  This is one of the postcards from the Global Greetings Mail Art group that I am participating in.  It has been such fun. You can go here to see many more great postcards.
 Even though Steviewren thinks I get mail every day that isn't the case.  Every day lately I have been in the garden, weather permiting. Weather has been very kind lately.  I brought a few forsythia sprigs in.  They are doing well in a small vase.
The bright yellow of the forsythia brought on this haiku.

Forsythia rays
competes with Spring's Sunshine
Even in a vase.

I hope your days are full of sunshine.  Your comments also fills my days with sunshine. Thank you all for stopping by and taking the time to leave a few words.  All of your words together make the most beautiful bouquets.

This is a charming drawing. I wish I had brought some sprigs in to enjoy as they bloomed and promptly froze the first freeze we had last week. OH well It was lovely outside for awhile. Our nice weather went bye bye for awhile.

I love what you wrote about the forsythia. I was at BJ's yesterday, and there were long, lean bundles of forsythia with their roots in burlap bags. They were so beautiful. But trapped. So I love what you have drawn here.

The wind and the rain this morning just about ruined the flowers in my gardens!
I hope the daffodiles stand back up....I too am out in the dirt as much as possible.
I love your drawings...
Happy Easter,
Sherry

Here some of us have to import Forsythia blossoms... one day I might get up the courage to plant a bush but it will probably freeze die during the winter. I love your picture. It's so pretty. And the haiku is great.
