Nest Feathers and Twine

today it seemed no matter which way i turned what i planned just did not seem to want to work out.....

but the birds were singing and the sun shining and puppies being silly.....

no matter how much the debil tried to ruin the day

it just could not be ruined.

today was beautiful

just beautiful

 these are just a few of the lovlies that are going to be added to our etsy shop..

 purple.....i have decided i HATE to photograph purple.  shot after shot after shot and this bracelet looked 15 different shades of blue.  while sitting at the kitchen table looking into the plastic bag that holds and protects these bracelets, being silly i thought....i just bet if i take a picture right now it will show the true color of this bracelet....and guess what.  it did.  the magic of a plastic ziplock bag i guess.  sheesh. 

oh-so-silly  mikey mike....he loves to lay on his back.  thankfully this time i just happened to have the camera at hand.

no matter what crayon you color him with he is so squishy and cute.  earlier in the afternoon mike brought his stick in the house....all 3 feet of it.  we have a pile of sticks waiting for the weather to stay dry long enough so that we can have ourselves a bit of a bonfire one cool evening and mike slowly but surely is stealing the sticks one at a time.  

the pile is growing smaller, and we are going to have to set out to re-gather the sticks from all over the yard.....at least the ones he has not eaten.

how do you know when a boy has become a  man....not by the hair on his chinny chin chin....but 

 when he falls asleep with one of these in his hand.   after a hard day at school and a few hours of playing ball with his buddies my baby is  just plain wore out.

i got this in the mail today.......see the second line.....assists SENIORS!  ha....i just turned 46.    silly people..... someone needs to let them know i am going to stay 26ish and live forever. 


 off to get my beauty rest....nighty night.
