-Farm Country Harlemville, by Robin Guthridge

Our Three Local Plein Air Painters exhibit
continues through April.

 
If I can stop one heart from breaking,    
I shall not live in vain;    
If I can ease one life the aching,    
Or cool one pain,    
Or help one fainting robin            
Unto his nest again,    
I shall not live in vain.

                             - Emily Dickinson (1830-86).

It was a wonderful winter, but, oh - how good to see the robins again!
Happy Spring!
