Project 365 ~ 151


Husband asked me a few days ago "you just can't not have a project to work on can you?" Of course I cannot! In fact, I currently have THREE projects underway, with a couple more simmering in my little brain. Oh the lovely things that happen when the weather turns pleseant!

Project 365 ~ 149


Chicken decided she wanted to do the science fair. I was kind of shocked when she announced her interest but wanted to support her endeavor so we started working on it. She has a collection of beach glass and was researching how beach glass comes to be, how it's shaped and formed, and interesting little facts about these fun gems. Then we took a special trip out to the state park to find a few more pieces. It's always an exciting treasure hunt. And such a thrill to find the little sparkle among the dull gray rocks of the 'beach' along the Puget Sound.

Project 365 ~ 148

Took a day with a couple of friends to wander up to the Packwood Flea Market. What an exciting treasure hunt that was! While there were many many interesting things to look at and pretend i had space for in the house. But this this lucky little suitcase made it's way into my heart, my hand and my little idea pocket. What til you see what happens with it!

Project 365 ~ 147


BAD DOG!

I went out to let the chickens out of their coop this morning and only four chirped out. That's odd. Went back around and peered in, sure enough, only four in there. Two have gone missing.

I searched the yard, the neighbors yards, peeked over the fences, all in the pouring rain, and found nothing. Not even a pile of feathers as evidence of a raccoon attack. I gave up, folded my umbrella and went inside. I closed the slider and looked out at the back yard wondering, "Where did they go? What happened to them." That's when I noticed it. The potato patch was not piled in neat rows anymore. Oh no. Please no.

I grabbed the rake and started moving the dirt around a bit. Part of me hoping it was just my weird dog doing her thing of not being able to leave loose dirt alone and nosed it into a big pile. But just as that thought passed through my head I saw this: a crooked claw reaching from the ground. Like some kind of creepy pet cemetary zombie. I couldn't dig any further. I called Husband and told him he had a job when he got home. *shudder*

Beautiful girl! I found a quote once when she was about 18 months old. It has fit her since then and I am pretty sure it will continue to fit as she grows. it simply says,

It’s beauty that

captures your

attention, then

personality captures

your heart.



Silly Chicken asked me to do her hair for the play at school tonight so I curled it, pinned it, and sprayed it, then she did her thing and showed off all her personality. We love you and your cooky faces my love!

The rain. It seems like it is even washing the colors right off the trees.
