Good Day to You!

It's finally spring! Technically. Sure, it's still as cold as winter. But while you're crunching over the lingering snow and ice, at least it'll be spring's snow and ice. That's gotta count for something. And before you know it, we'll have that first warm day. Perhaps this week's featured poster will excite you for the first warm night that's soon to come. Buy it at a discount this week at our online store.
First warm night. The earth's
naked now except for its
bracelet of peepers
Poet Jim Ellis was inspired by the spring peepers, or small chorus frogs he could hear with his wife outside his home in Auburn, NY. He recalls the peepers' "rhythmical chanting" and the "ambiance of a spring night" exciting them both for warmer days soon to come.

Artist Liz Callahan illustrates Ellis's haiku with a young couple, a dog, and a full moon hovering over Syracuse. Callahan's lively, eclectic style is achieved through a unique, collage-paint hybrid. As she explains, "I cut every piece by hand, after I do the drawing. The final piece consists of interesting textures and colors from different images, to create something unlike any other painting."

Celebration of the Senses
What better way to spend the weekend than shopping for CNY Artisans' goods, eating local foods, and listening to live music in a greenhouse?

The Carol Watson Greenhouse is having its annual Celebration of Senses fundraising event 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 1 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 2 at the greenhouse in LaFayette.
