My son in the news!

My Son Ray and his Mandarin immersion Kindergarten class are in the newspaper today! He is in the red shirt. There is also a video on the newspaper's website. Very exciting for our little guy!

Here is a link to the article.

Happy Sunday!

Happy V-Day Everyone!

My little Chicklette!

I made this lil cutie from a borrowed mold, so she is a one of a kind. She sits atop a lidded container which is trimmed in a soft vintage pom pom fringe. Her Sunday hat is topped with vintage milinery flowers.

I am already looking forward to Spring? Aren't you?

Venturing back into poetry..

I borrowed this amazing photo from a blog I came across.. I was struck by the delicate beauty and resilience of the rose.. it inspired this short poem.

Wildlife Rescue

This poor little Yellow Rumped Warbler flew into our French door a short while ago.

I didn't want to frighten him, but I did roll him gently back onto his feet, as he was struggling on his back. Here he is still quite dazed.. but appears to be recovering.

A bit better.. not quite so shaky.

Just about back to his old self

Ready to fly!!
He took off just a minute or so after I took this picture. First he landed on our window sill, then flew to our oak tree. A happy ending for this little yellow rumped beauty!!
