Can you believe, another beautiful, sunny day here! DH did his early morning bird survey and now is napping. The birds he had were mostly the summer residents, so the spring migrants seem to be gone. Trees are mostly in full leaf, so it must be summer already. And I seem to be thinking of...

Beautiful day here too. The tree company came and it looks strange without the trees (one, an evergreen, had just given up the ghost but covered a lot). Was happy to see the oriole on the feeder later. Chris, hey, those were good things! Just not momentous. Nice for Scott and your dad to work...

Yesterday we chose a niche at the cemetery in a lovely spot. We felt really good about that but legal affairs kept getting more complicated. Today there may be a better turn for that. Of course we're working from three different states, only SIL on location. Today was beautiful and a couple of...

Still strange days here regarding DH's cousin who died in Texas. SIL is now there dealing with things, found no pre-arrangements, so we are finally going ahead with doing that and we are getting her a niche in the cemetery here where her parents are. It is a lovely day here, so that helps...

Royal wedding was not on our radar today. I had my monthly computer genealogy group meeting. One of our members is a good speaker and she gave an excellent morning talk. She and I did user groups, we all had our brown bag lunches and then I showed information on Dropbox and Google Drive and how...

Just another day at the zoo here. It's briefly dry enough that DH is out cutting the grass. Felis, I think I can imagine the appeal of living in the wild like that but it would be quite a challenge even if it were safe. Where I grew up my parents had part of the land in fruits and vegetables...

I had a nice day and lovely dinner for my birthday. Also had a fairly unusual visit of Pine Siskins to the feeder. Had them on my birthday three years ago too. How fun they know when to come! LOL Felis, congrats on getting week 18 scrapped. You did it well. Sorry it was so difficult. Hope...

Oh, I love this look below the gowns! Great looking page and wonderful for the memories.

We had lots of rain overnight but it is just cloudy now. We don't have plans other than dinner at the Mexican restaurant we finally tried last month. But DH does make me feel special for my birthday. (as do you all.) And happy Mother's Day to all who are. Felis, a rainy day spent lying in bed...

There were mostly male Mallards on the pond on May 8 and this one gave me a nice photo. Bingo bottom row: E (edge), P (paper), D (dots), N (notebook), T (tape) Credits: -background, frame, tape, transfer, brushes: ArtPlay Palette Escape by Anna Aspnes -paper: Pressed 'N' Painted No. 1 by...

Oh, beautiful! Superb photos and masking plus I like the way the title words extend the stems.

Cool gray, maybe rainy day, but I am very happy as we have an oriole! DH put up the oriole feeder Tuesday (maybe because we heard one when birding) and yesterday a male Baltimore Oriole came to our feeder several times. Today he has been there and we also hear him sing some and also a warbler is...

Trudy, you hike to such beautiful places and this page is just gorgeous. I like the watercolor look and the perfect little accents.

DH did his bird survey this morning and is now napping. He had lots of migrant birds but few warblers other than what will be resident Yellow Warblers. In the neighborhood yesterday we heard and saw a Nashville Warbler, so know things are moving. Felis, hope your face has gone back to normal...

Exciting treatments of the photo and great use of the color palette. Beautiful.

Oh, Trudy, it's so beautiful! The painting is wonderful but you've managed to enhance it with this page with the paint and flowers and your so nice letter T.

We've got another beautiful sunny day. Certainly makes me feel happier. The genealogy group at the senior center yesterday was fun and I had found information for two of the people that I got to share with them. That feels good too. Felis, I'm another who doesn't do resolutions. Some years I...

Marijke, thank you so much for selecting my Purple Martin page and giving me a big smile!
