Haiku my heart

Machinery is
noisy so send in the sheep
they munch quietly!

There is aanarea below us that needs mowing each year for fire protection. Instead of bringing out the noisy tractors they hire a sheep man, his dog and his sheep. He marks off areas for the sheep to eat and as each area is cleared he lets them onto the next place. Usually takes 3 days and NO noise and fun to watch the activity!!!

Mini notebooks for graduation gift

Cut, paper paste images from Deviantscrap

I have to neighbor girls that I have known since they were born and now they are graduated and off to begin a new chapter in their lives. I made these mini notebooks for them to use for saving little ideas  and thoughts.  They were my surrogate "grandchildren" !

A little egg charm goes with each book for them to remember their roots as they fly from the nest.

Haiku my heart

Swing back and forth and
back and forth and back and forth!
Wheeeeeee, what a fun time!!
