blue skies and a new ring

Today we finally got a break from the constant onslaught of rain. The clouds drifted away, the sun came out, and I took the lens cap off my camera.

Flowers have been sprouting and new leaves have been slowly growing on all the tree branches since the beginning of April, but seeing them finally bathed in sunlight was like seeing them for the first time.

Since Ohio is only in store for more rain, I tried to soak up as much of the beautiful weather as possible. The forecast’s pretty bleak for the rest of May, but I have my fingers crossed for sun in June. Speaking of fingers…

This is a simple ring project I completed for my jewelry class. I needed a little practice soldering, but I’m getting better at it. I think I’ll make something a little more delicate for the next project. Enjoy the beautiful weather, if you’ve got it!
