Will sunflowers and sunshine ever return?

The sunflowers were done in 2007, maybe toward the end of the summer; the boats in 2003 (or so). After a season of snow unlike winters of recent memory, I'm ready for longer days, warmer temperatures and the colors of spring.

The Lady Killigrew Cafe, next to the Book Mill in Montague, is a favorite location for coffee or a beer; so was Cafe Koko which recently was forced to close its doors. There is a certain imperfection about them which caught my attention; sort of rough around the edges, a quality shared by both Greenfield and Gloucester. I think both communities will continue to provide me with subjects and inspiration. Happy 2009!!
