Happy Father's Day!

My Little from BBBS, Mya... and her brother wanted to make something special for her Papa this year.

Their father would give the shirt off his back for these two.

So much sacrifice raising them all alone, with no motherly help.

At least these two kiddos have an awareness to it, with great appreciation and gratitude!

Happy Father's Day!!

Sticks and Scraps

Found these beautifully-assorted sticks the other day, and wanted so badly to bring them to life.

With some scrap fabric, sticks, scissors and glue...

you can create a whole dressed up stick-crew.

... and while you're at it, add a few twig wigs!

Let your soul air out and vent,

go find a willow tree tent.

Shopping spree

Working in the yard on a new landscape,

Went shopping for some fresh beauties to drape.

Plants dressed up in different colors of frocks,

Without one matching the next, just like my socks.

Goldilocks

Yesterday is as far as a star and too old, 

tomorrow has a forecast of being so cold, 

but the present day is just right, as good as gold.
