"babysitting"

My neighbors are away for the weekend. I'm watching their chickens and ducks while they're gone. Also doing some watering.
                Here's the rewards from yesterday.
                          2 chicken and 1 duck
              Today there were 2 more chicken eggs,
                   maybe egg salad is in order?

May Post

Another Month Goes By : Life at my home

I'm loving my new place. I planted flowers, bought a beautiful basil plant at Trader Joe's, hung hummingbird feeders where a couple of hummingbirds are regular feeders. I love the sounds they make and the buzzing of their wings. I have a short video I made this is where you can watch it, if you want.

I'm back to making art again. Here's what I'm currently working on. Base coat is down and waiting for it to dry.I'll keep adding layers, it's a work and wait process.I'm glad to be back in the groove again.

I've been needing a couch. I haven't owned one for all of the months I've lived here. I was using a twin mattress with cushions, which served the purpose plus gave me an extra bed. I've been on the look out for a regular couch and so when I saw an ad on Craig's List for a living room set for $100 I called. It sounded in pretty decent shape plus the picture showed all the pieces sitting on top of a trailer. I took a chance and asked if he'd deliver it, for some extra $. Which he was willing to do, yay! He delivered it, helped bring it into the house and put it where I wanted it. Really nice guy. The set is in really good condition, couch with 4 pillows, loveseat, and a chair with an ottoman. I'm over the moon about it.

Last but not least is the Mother's Day gift I received from Megan. They're beautiful, dreamy and will look perfect in my kitchen.Sorry for the glare in the pictures.
