    Busy, busy end of school

    Ever have one of those weeks that you have all planned out way a head of time…then when the week begins you completely forgot that you had a zillion things to do?? That’s been my week. I think the 3 day Memorial Day holiday weekend was what started me off on the wrong foot. Monday turned into Tuesday in the blink of an eye.
     Tuesday I was a bit under the weather…allergies and such.
    Wednesday was filled by inventory at the school library.
    Yesterday I got to go to the Arboretum as a chaperone for Little J’s class. I really love it there. We should really get a membership…but I digress.
    The girls enjoyed the Japanese garden…
    especially the koi.
    I enjoyed a moment of quiet serenity myself.
    But we can’t forget about the flowers…
    So many beauties.
    It was hard to choose which to share.
    This was my favorite floral photo of the day.
    Soft and dreamy…and pink!
    Today will be my “catch-up” day.
    The team of fairies I wished for at the fountain never showed. A girl’s got to dream, right?!?!
    How are you preparing for summer?

    Spring is in the air

    We’ve got a pair of chickadees busy preparing a nest in the bird house I plucked out of a FREE pile at the curb while on a walk last year. Those birdies have it stuffed so full that the nest is trailing out. 
    I’m not sure how they plan on raising babies in there.

     

    We are finally getting some moisture. It’s been so dry that grass was crunchy.
    The crab apple blossoms love it.
    I’ll be cutting some off in a bit to bring inside. Too bad the blossom stage is so short lived.
    My neighbor’s tree is further ahead than ours…at least I get to enjoy it from afar.

    Well, not actually me in particular…just my book.
    I decided to put together my tip-in swap book without the final player’s pages.
    It was yet another UFO in my pile that needed to be completed. It’s not like I don’t have another spot for those tip-ins when I eventually get them..right?!?! Right!
    Thanks to Elizabeth for the handmade paper on the cover!!
    My favorite part of altered books…how they look from the side.
    Wiggly, wonky pages.
    Love ’em!!
