I cannot believeee my face has gone viral ! I've had such a fun time reading all of the comments and I wanted to respond to some of them:

Me + my art doppelganger !

This is 'Portrait of a Young Woman' by Frans Hals, c1660. We were first introduced when I was 17 and it was noted that I looked a ~bit~ like her. I went to see her again this weekend and SKIPPED around the gallery at how silly it is to be an oil painting. I knew there was a reason I love a big frilly collar !!!…

It's the first day of Spring! I went for a big walk in the sun with my pals, got a whippy (with sprinkles!) from the ice cream van, found a rogue daffodil on the ground and said hello to lots of dogs! Life is nice!!!
