Where is Spring?

No, seriously, where is it? It’s snowing still here in Pennsylvania and (don’t tell anyone I admitted to this) I’m getting a little tired of it. We have our seeds started, little seedlings coming up, some getting rather large, and no place to plant them! We have two ducklings in our basement, getting larger by the minute, waiting to go outside. Spring needs to hurry up already! =)

Here are some mini paintings I painted with spring on my mind:

Yay Spring!

Are you experiencing a beautiful spring where you are, or are you buried under snow like me?

Merry Chickenmas!

Ever have one of those thoughts that has you questioning your own sanity? I do, often. Driving around looking for a store that has decent bikes for the kids (last minute Christmas idea) and bam! “Hey Mom, think we could find a Christmas outfit for a dog or cat that would work on one of our chickens?” Expecting absolute silence, silent judging from my mother on my sanity, she actually laughed and said that would be great, let’s do it! Maybe it wasn’t too crazy of an idea? We found a little Mrs. Clause dress with velcro that seemed like it would be a good fit. Which chicken of the six? It would have to be a white one so the red feathers didn’t clash with the red dress. Lillian! Lillian is one of the two white chickens with a longer tail than Golde, the other white one. So, yeah, that happened.

Merry Chickenmas!

Earlier I went through the house looking for Anna’s little deer. Long story short, we’ve lived in PA for 3 years and have barely seen a deer in the woods. We’re always driving around looking, but it’s so rare to actually spot one. So…
