Friday on my morning walk with Bear the dog, we got to see 4 deer! I think I was able to get 3 of the 4 in this photo. I had the leash in one hand, so the shot was not great.

I added a couple of houses to the collection this week. The spider web house just makes me smile.


I snapped this squirrel on my walk with Bear yesterday. I might have taken the day off in support of the May Day protest here in the US.
These are the last two pink houses for the month. Notice the dinosaur peeking out the window?
I'm posting late but wanted to get the errands done in the morning thinking the crowds would be less. We are having a non-traditional Easter lunch tomorrow. Emily has a birthday Tuesday (17 years old!) and neither kid is keen on ham, so I let Emily choose the menu. She went with steaks on the grill, baked potato, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and grilled veggies. I picked up some mini croissants to go with it. Emily and Grandma did their birthday shop and lunch today. The girl is very busy next week with All County band rehearsals and a concert on Thursday evening.
I got some afternoon sewing in and added these four pink houses to the collection. I think I need two more, but my pinks are a bit lacking in variety. I did pull a couple of 2 inch strips from a drawer for two of these houses. I'll dig around in there and see if I can find a couple more. I cut out more roof and chimney parts and have two more of those ready to add to the last two pink houses. Linking up with the RSC.
I was able to play a little in the sewing room this morning and finished off 4 houses so I have a set of six now to join the green and blue ones. I'll have to cut more chimney and roof parts so I am all set for next month's houses. Linking up with the RSC.
This guy was waiting for his boy to get home last night. He went up to Gainesville with friends for dinner.... and to either celebrate or commiserate the UF acceptance postings. There was a bit of both - mine got in, his buddies did not. They have a back up plan, so we will see how things shake out. Mine was very happy to get in as this was his 2nd choice after Dartmouth (which was a rejection letter in December).
