April Showers Brings May Flowers.....

And yes they have! May is downright bloomin! The trees had buds less than a week ago, and look at them now! Tulips are growing tall reaching to the sunlight! Crocusses have come and still are growing strong! Irises will begin soon! and Yes! We see GREEN GRASS instead of the white blanket! We thought SPRING would never arrive...




The Fourth Walnut Beach Art Stroll of 2011 begins with a very appropro themed exhibit "Botany," a wonderful scientific term for plant life - a beautiful term at that, will be hosted by Firehouse Gallery, 81 Naugautuck Avenue. The reception on Thursday, May 19th at 6:00 pm introduces the new season with a display of wonderful works by local artists. A must see!


"Spring" - monoprint - by Frieda Howling



Stroll on down Naugatuck Avenue to SoBoBo Art Gallery at 42 Naugatuck Avenue and view the provocative art of Frieda Howling. Ask her questions, seek your answers as you join "Life's Journey." Try on "Treasures" by artisan, Sally Ann Endleman and see which piece of jewelry flatters your fashion wardrobe.




When you leave, make sure to turn right, three doors down Naugatuck Avenue to Alpha's Jolly Jug for a flavorful tasting of vino! Go around the corner to see if Lazy Lobster is open...Wild Expressions will have live "BLOOMS" for you to choose from if you wish to take home the wonderful scents.


Perhaps you can find a book at Collected Stories on the subject of botany, or plants, or flowers...







Enjoy the "bloomin" evening! Bask in the season of Spring! And just have a wonderful time!


See you there!
