Bouquet Believer

It's been awhile

since I've joined with 

Mary at Little Red House

for Mosaic Monday...

Her still life photography

is so peaceful,

for some reason I thought of her

this morning...

longing for more peaceful moments (I guess)

the wind blew hard yesterday

and it was 10 degrees this morning!!

How are the May flowers going to come

if we only have April Freezes??

We've only had a small amount of nice weather

to work in the garden...

there's soooo much to do!

I'm thinking garden rows of flowers 

this year!!  

Rows of sunflowers, snapdragons, cosmos,

daisies, and lavendar

what else would you like 

in your bouquet??

( I want to be the flower lady at the corner market

on French Street!! )

"FOR SALE, GET YOUR

Fresh bouquets and homemade pickles"...

"somebody slap me

before this dream gets me any deeper!"

Anyway, I'm patiently waiting

for warm sunny days...

I'll be the one in the garden

moaning and groaning and complaining

about whose idea this was!!

But, you never know,

dreams do come true

sometimes?

thanks for joining me today!

Hope you'll pop by 

Little Red House 

to see more Mosaic Monday Posts.

Have a great day,

Lisa

I Survived It

The Big

5 0 

came and went...

I actually survived 

without any major melt downs,

just a little heavy 

sweat from working in the garden.

NO spa treatments needed...

the collagen boost

got put off till next year...

and who's gonna notice a butt lift 

when you sit around 

blogging all day!

I DID get rid of

some gray hair and got 

a new "do",

but that was overdue

by about 5 years...

all in all this "big"

birthday breezed by

and my guy

managed to "make" my day

with all of my favorite things...

~peace and quiet~

 ~flowers that will last all summer~

~a private Crab Leg Dinner~

~a bottle of wine~

~a Carrot Cake~

~and a sunset bonfire~

 (I'm glad I decided to keep him)

Life is Good,

here's to a few more good years!

Thanks,

Lisa

Meeting The Flockers

Our weather

is FINALLY taking a turn

for the better...

warmer temperatures

and beautiful blue skies...

(a big sigh here)

 

Although I have been enjoying

my time indoors doing

my own "nesting"

 

 and making items to sell 

to my fellow "nesters"...

 

 

It's time to get outdoors 

and start cleaning up, 

cleaning out, 

hauling out,

yada, yada, yada!

But, before all that

let's meet some more

FLOCKERS...

 I love dropping in on them 

unexpectedly...

heaven knows there

is always room 

for one more...

They are quite the 

entertainers,

if you're a nature lover

like we are...

 

 

Pin the Tail on the Pintail anyone?

(sorry!)

Okay, so if you're not into ducks and geese

here's another family of FlOCKERS

to meet....

(I know, It's BAAaaaaD!)

Have a Happy Spring Day, my Friend!

Hugs,

Lisa

Bear With Me

 We are packed and ready

to find a new home...

Me and my bear friends 

will be hanging out at 

Sweet Grass soon

I've been busy making new

art designs to compliment

some old friends of mine...

 stay tuned for the date of my

next "ART" sale

and

pedal on over to 

Sweet Grass.

The bears and I will

hook you up with something

fresh and inspirational 

for your home!

See you soon,

Lisa

Goose Overload

It's a sight you just never tire of...

unlike the barrage

of fancy, new air-pollutin'-land-eatin'

green machines in the neighborhood....

I prefer to see what used to be...

 

and what the farmers used to see...

  

the farmers of my Grand Father's time

probably gathered at the elevator and 

talked about the weather and the future

and how much seed to plant

 and how much feed to buy...

the subject matter probably

 hasn't changed

much...

 

as long as there will be land,

there will be a farmer to

till, and sow, and reap....

 (thank goodness for that)

and hopefully their farming practices

will not endanger the natural 

scheme of things...

 

 

 

 I want to see my grand children's 

future as "rock" solid,

don't you?

The old farmsteads and wooden barns

will be long gone...

but, with any luck, there will

still be massive flocks of geese to see

that's a gift we need to preserve

and share for future generations. 

Have a great day

(keep it natural)

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!!!
