April showers have missed us so far...

but the skies are dreary...
and gray...
columbine is coming up every where...
it will bring the humming birds...
lilies and columbine...
it's growing up around the rocks...
this in on the list for tomorrow...
and these are going to get painted as soon as it's warm enough...
you can see all the new buds trying to come out...
Mr Wiggles thinks he's a bird watching...
there were 2 cardinals on the fence until he showed up...
so many things are waking up...
I think I will clear coat this...
I like where it is...
it is dark enough the flash would go off part of the time...
but we have our first dandelion...
only one...
potato soup and ham and cheese sandwiches for supper tonight...
it's 51 here with wind...
so it's a cool  and damp 51...

There's something fishy about April Fool's Day...

vintage french postcards...
they appear to have one thing in common...
fish...
pink fish generally...
the images are just too cute...
and I have no clue what they say...
but they are so colorful...
love this one...
and there is a series with rotten pear heads...
at least that's what they look like to me...
and they also have fish...
whimsy postcards...
and then there are others...
probably printed here long ago...
her head is a little too big...
and this one...
maybe the first scratch off...
and a black and white with another fish...
I have a thing for April Fool's Day...
my son was born on this day...
and my grandpa...
big joke in my family on how many fools are in the family tree...
have a great day and beware of pranksters...
but remember...
officially you have to do your pranks before noon!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Birthday, baby!

my little guy turns 30 today!
love you bunches, Doug!
I have no clue where all the time has gone...
and it's been wonderful having him in my life...
30 years we have been together...
I had no idea what I was getting into...
I just knew I wanted to be a mom...
it's the best thing I have ever done...
having my kids...
enjoy your day, Dougie Doodle...

and Happy Birthday to my grandpa, Buddy...
Doug was born on his birthday...
and no one believed us when we called to tell them I had had  him!
they all thought it was an April Fool's joke!

This is where Rebecca will be setting up this weekend...

she is going to be setting up in the morning...
it's a 2 day show...
and then on Sunday...
she and Craig are moving my stuff into my new booth at Copper Eagle in Charleston....
so much for a few days off work...
if you are local...
make sure to stop and see what she's got!

It hit 50...

we went for a walk...
not a long walk...
not too many birds today...
but the rain clouds are here...
things are coming along...
but we do need rain...
more columbine...
still more to clean up...
but a good day...
any day without snow is a good day!
