Artwork: Finch Among the Peach Blossoms In March

You don't see much of it here; but I used a shimmery gold paint on different parts this.

These are normally the orange pictured; but some interesting lighter ones were growing among them.

Around the Yard

Here are a few little plants that know one invited; but I am glad to have.

This Week's Tablesetting

I decided to dedicate a separate post to this week's tablesetting. I borrowed a tray from Sasha and decorated it with vintage leather gloves, vintage and antique postcards, and dried rose petals. I only paid a dollar for a couple of roses the other day. One of them is the one in the vase.

Hanging out with the Boys

Shaina and I visited and went for a walk with a couple of our cousins from across the road.


Shaina and Jacob


This bird sounded like a red-wing blackbird.






corn and red clover


This part of Iowa is so beautiful.


James (we're both 18).




Juggling rocks from our driveway--I wouldn't mind being able to do that. :)


Jacob is 15 and somewhere in the region of 6 feet tall. James is 6'1''.

I'm not sure how long we've been taking walks with the boys. It's kind-of a nice pastime. :)
