Fence Suspense

So...

We've been up to something.







{Are we crazy? }

Sketch: Blue Parrot

Oh, just a personalized parrot of the blue variety.

For my uncle, the Cap'n of the Blue Parrot and now the Two Emeralds.

Mother's Day

Any day can be mother's day when you love your mom and want to brag about her publicly, right? Doesn't matter that most people did this sort of thing three days ago and I'm doing it now, right?


Okay, good.


I love you, Mama.

These are some of my latest treasures from my mom.

I love that you care about each detail of life.
That we articulate descriptions of things like floral arrangements, a detail on a dress, or a piece of art--things a lot of people don't even notice. But we love.


I love how you use the gifts God gave. You are so creative.  And you are dedicated to teaching little hands to create. Your life is a ministry.


I love how you love totally. That you care most about the heart stuff - and we talk deeply. You just understand.  You and Daddy are grace-givers.

You are appreciated.

May Calendar

Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers

Thomas Tusser, A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry, 1557

In keeping with the old poem, last month's calendar was abstract April showers, so clearly this month I had to share with you some May abstract flowers.  Hope you enjoy :)
