Paper Flowers

Feeling very lazy today so made paper flowers.  Easy, no thinking involved, results satisfactory. Now I'll ponder how to use the blue ones. Perhaps butterflies need to be made to complement them and then 3 D all together for shadow box???? OR...........

For some unknown and strange reason I worked with blue paper today and blue is my least favored color. I just had to go with the feeling that I should. Water? Sky? Peace? OOPS! Just made a water flower creation. OK now. calm.

UPDATE - DOWNSIZE

I have a difficult time pulling myself up into the passenger seat in the truck and getting down as well since my shoulder break in May of 2012. I haven't ever driven it since we bought it in 2006. I had a small car and that did fine until we needed to pull in our "extras" when times got rough. We sold it to our son and that was a good thing. Now every time I need to go somewhere the Mister is my chauffeur. He never complains. He drives me to the dentist and doctor appointments, to the grocery store, to the laundromat, for a sight-seeing drive, to Target or Walmart - everywhere! We no longer need the truck. It has been good to us, driving back and forth to SC, three times a year, the past nine years! It was time to make a change before it had a severe mechanical breakdown or rusted away. Updating and downsizing was the plan.

Easter Day Rideabout

The first thing I wanted to do was to re-shoot the wheel fence but there is no place to park to get great pictures. Oh well...

We passed an old farmhouse that has been renovated. I do not like the blue tin roof! Notice the stained glass window on each side, is a nice touch.

The barn siding caught my eye.

How about the "tractor color parade" having a mailbox to match!

This very old schoolhouse has been vacated but someone is maintaining it well.

Last year I trespassed to get the serpentine rock wall and now I see that three more sculptures have been added.

Moss grows everywhere.

The rushing stream is not to its fullest ability to flow as when the snow was melting.

This fence form is a style from long ago and is still popular.

I see two small trees here that have survived the harsh winter.
