Today is rainy again. Really, as you know, that is the way of the PNW. However color is beginning to break through as spring starts springing. Grays and browns still set the tone, but delicate hues can be found in the woods and the garden. The witch hazel and primroses are each a soft yellow. The moss on the logs is vibrant green. Apple and cherry trees are dressed in their prettiest delicate white and pink.

So here is what I just finished. A little hot pepper to go with the delicate flavors of spring.
