hole in my heart

So take a good look at this proud old tree....because the next time you see it I will probably have strapped myself to it in an effort to save it from Hubby's chainsaw.

This poor old tree hasn't much left to it...just a lot of heart. (fyi this is the thickest view....from the side it's nay a sliver) The trunks as hollow as my cookie jar after my sweet tooth acts up.

Poor thing. It looks as if a slight breeze may knock it to the ground for a final count. Or a nesting bird may topple it like a frail old man.

Amazed am I to see it sprout anew every Spring.

Happy am I to say "In your face" to hubby.

So for now the return of blooming buds have twarted hubby's efforts.

Go tree go!

Maid Service

So the question was "how does a gal who paints cows and flowers adapt to a sea-themed artist show?".

I pondered for quite a while.

Finally I got my sea legs and just dove in.

So your eyes do not deceive you.....I painted mermaids....yes, little ol' me......and had fun doing so!

A week to go 'til the show!

peep-a-boo!

Ok 2 out of 3 ain't bad..............at least that's want the song claims.

So 2 precious little peeps hatched out of 3. I'm not a gambler, but I's put a bet on those odds! Hubby, lend me some money?

So our latest is Dander. Thrilled and proud am I to see that they will be feather-footed! As long as those feather-legs don't go after mine - we'll get along just fine.

fluffed and dried

couldn't resist having more chicks around....

hmmm, may be a while before we know if we have a bouncing baby girl or spurring baby boy....crossing my fingers, legs ,toes and eyes for a hen....so for now this is Lucky.
