Don't Blink!..They Might Get Away!

The package came! I love ordering things online because then I get mail. I love mail! And underneath the puff plastic things full of air...NINJAS!

They were just so good I couldn't resist. So I made ninja cookies. Pink, orange, green, red, black, white, and yellow. And as any good ninja, they disappeared. Cookie goodness devoured by their foe. I may have had a little too much fun photographing them.

As the package says " They're cut out for action!"

In The Library

I have eleven paintings on display. A mix of watercolors and acrylics.

Woke Up This Morning...

to this!Shame on you April.

Happy Easter, Happy April

I wish I had more time in my life. Apparently, everyone needs glassware in April. I got so frustrated the other day ( and I am not proud of myself for this) that I shattered a glass on purpose. It did not make me feel better and I sliced my finger on the pieces. I'm better now and I almost have my paint list done. On a happier note, I wore a big hat Easter Sunday. I was the only one in my church wearing a hat and I did not feel weird.We had a decent Easter. Chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! We colored eggs, had an egg hunt,

made cookies, and put a roof on the barn ( we're not going to talk about that last one).

There is really not much more to tell, I'll post about the cookies and the roof later. I see a good April coming!

Spring is Coming

It has been abnormally warm lately. A bit rainy and wet today but highs of 65 to 70. I can't complain. The buds are starting to pop out and the flowers are starting to grow.

I saw a robin in the yard for the first time today! A true sign of spring. (The silly bird flew away before I could get a decent picture)

3.14159265 Day

I'm sad that I have not posted in so long. I love blogging, I really do. But when I'm not working (which I have been doing like crazy) I always seem to find something else to do. I must confess that I have spent far to much of my time with Samantha watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I watched this show back when it was cool, it makes me feel old (which isn't really a good thing but it also makes me laugh). I forgot until right now that it was pi day so I did not make pie today. Apple pie would have been nice. There is always next year.

Lambing Season

Much to my disappointment, we do not have sheep. But given the small country town we live in, we have friends that do. Over the years we have always told them that if they were to ever have a bottle lamb we would be more then happy to feed it. This year they had one and we got to keep her overnight (I would have kept her longer but it was in agreement that she would do better with other sheep)

We were also given the permission to name her. Hollyhocks (like the flower) Holly for short. She was super cute and super loud! We kept her in a box in the kitchen but she was not happy about it. She baaed herself hoarse. Poor little thing. The only thing that would keep her quite was for me to hold her. I did get her to fall asleep in her box for the night but in the morning the baaing continued. So for a day and a half I carried a sheep around.Just call me the lamb whisperer.
