Top Of The Morning To You

Happy Monday

Blogging Friends!

Isn't March flying by?

 The weather has been crazy...

one day like a lamb,

the next day like a lion...

I have been enjoying
some "alone" time in my studio...

Just me, my computer, and my mod podge...

I made up my mind...

I want to fill up a box with
fresh new SPRING TIME
wall art
&
Memory Blocks
to sell at

Sweet Grass

it seems creativity
only sparks when I am alone...
and now that the days are getting longer
and warmer,
the ideas are flowing 
like a raging river!!

how about you?

are you a crafter...

or a slacker?

If you've been nappin',
wake up and smell the coffee
and join me at Sweet Grass
where I'll be peddling my creations!

Their back room is loaded with
unique and original items
from local craftsmen and artists.

Have a super Monday!

Honk If You Love Spring

We are enjoying some much needed

warmer temperatures

here on the central plains....

The geese have 

been coming,

that's a sure sign

of more warm weather to come

 At times our skies

are peppered with geese....

 You can tell there must

be some open water near by

when you see them in numbers like this

A few of them must get

fooled by the ice...see him scolding the other one

for landing on hard ice...

what are we supposed to do here????

 and then it's up and off

to another corn field

to sit and wait

(and eat)

for more water to open up

it is a magical site to see so many

huge birds fly around each other

and not crash!

My guess is they have a 

"No Texting and Flying Policy"

in force!

and finally, thought I'd give them an artistic edge,

before I head off to my craft room...

Happy Spring Y'all,

yes!!!

Let's Go For a Walk

I have not heard those

words for so long...

when the thermometer

reaches 50 degrees F,

you jump at the chance

for a long walk...

 

I quickly grabbed my camera

and my boots 

and off to the trees

we went...

I think little Miss Jazz

was the MOST excited...

She was here, there, and everywhere...

covering more ground 

than the three of

us put together...

"C'mon everybody, 

keep up with me!"

Max found it a little 

embarrassing,

"it's a good thing this 

is just a private walk."

for such a long, cold winter

we couldn't believe how 

little snow there was in 

our tree grove...

Every year the snow blows in

and leaves piles as high as 

the bird nests...

 

this year I don't think the 

weeds even went dormant,

they are still green under

the dead cover...

Maybe I should be

out looking for

4 leaf clovers?

 

 

I'm sure the dogs
would approve of 
a daily hunt...
 

They love to track down
the pheasant trails in
the tall switch grass!

and there are enough
other smells to keep
a curious puppy busy
for days!

 Now I can't wait for her

to dig up her first row of pickles!

Yikes!

Eight more days

until it's official

(don't put away that snow shovel yet!)

Hugs,

Lisa

Anyone Else Ready To Go Topless?

Friday already??

Cold again???

Let me Rant....

Oh, forget it...

 nobody listens to me anyway...

And who wants to listen

to pointless Ranting anyway??

A little more snow won't kill me...

There will be plenty of sunny days

and topless rides in the country

in June!

Thanks for stopping by today!

AAAAOOOOOOGah,

Lisa

and 5: topless is the way to go in June in the country.

Patiently Waiting

A little birdie told me...

"Hang in there, Girl!"

"Spring will come,

when it's ready"...

as anxious as I am 

to get outside and play,

I am enjoying  the time spent

at my computer learning 

more tips and tricks on Photoshop,

editing videos, and creating

memorable photo

collages and blocks...

 With more cold and snow

coming this weekend...

I'll try to be content

and keep listening

for more 

good advice from birdie!

Patiently yours,
Lisa

You're It

Lost...

that's my "Friday Find"....

from digging through

piles of photos

and mounds of files

I still can't locate 

the picture I'm thinking about,

and the distraction

of thinking about how

I could lose such a great picture

is making me feel lost in my own house!

Now with that off my chest,

lets head to the barn...

I miss seeing the 

chickens out and about...

 

The other day Sully (our rooster)

decided to get out and enjoy some sunshine.

He found himself

cornered against the garden fence!

Jazz (the pup) is quick to 

engage anybody in a little game of tag,

but, Sully wanted no part of it.

After I picked him up and checked 

his wings and feet, he let me put

him back inside the coop for some R. and R.

And speaking of LOST,

has anybody heard if 

and when spring is coming?

 Some 

sunshine

and

flowers

would 

really 

be 

appreciated

right

NOW.

Thank goodness I found the

Spring issue of Cottage

in the mail box today...

it's time to lose myself in 

a good magazine...

Catch ya later!

  I'm linking up with Kim Klassen

for Friday Finds today!

I use Kim's textures all the time

and have too many to keep track of.

There are at least 6 different ones in the three

top photos of this post. 

Kim shares free textures every Tuesday.

Be sure to check out her web-sight,

and visit the other "Friday Finds" posts as well.

 

Growing Too Fast

What Form!

Such GRACE!

Fast as Lightning! 

Able to pounce on snow

like nobody's business!!

and a 

Gifted Pain-in-the-Neck!

 Sweet, but annoying....

  

"get your own stick, Doofus"

He won't admit it, but, Max hasn't

had this much fun since our Josie passed!

They are the best of buds,

even if he does growl about it!

Thanks for checking in today...

Hope your day finds you with a 

  good friend by your side!

Woof (Hugs),

Lisa
