Time to turn over a new panel in your JAKE & META "Year in Bloom" mini desktop calendar! I think of purple when I think of February—must be because amethyst is the gemstone for February. Looking forward to warmer weather when flowers like these verbena will be in bloom. Meanwhile, let it snow!

My young nephew James drew this fish, and one of my favorite things about it is the big smile on its face. To me it represents how he (James) feels, and it makes me smile when he smiles. This masterpiece, along with a selection of drawings from his classmates, hung in a university art gallery for a bit. When asked if he knew why or how his was chosen, James responded, "Because it's so good." Can't beat that!
We get the most amazing sunsets where we live. This one is from the other night. The cows across the street were quietly grazing under the beautiful pink, orange, and blazing yellow sky, not seeming to even notice the spectacular sight. But I did.
Sitting at my desk the other day, I glanced outside at the tree near my window and immediately noticed this GIANT caterpillar. While I think this is the type of caterpillar that cartoons and costumes are made to look like, I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. He was quite large, slow, and stood out on the dark colored bark. I wondered why the birds hadn't eaten him, but then I noticed all the hairy spikes. Mystery solved!
Do you remember that nursery rhyme? My mom used to recite it to us at times. Well, the other morning was certainly misty. And in the middle of a nearby field in the mist stood a gigantic bull. You might not be able to get the perspective from this picture, but he dwarfs the 3 cows to the right. Impressive!
