Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands... 1 Thessalonians 4:11
The preschool went on a field trip to the zoo. I was attacked by loads of lorakeets.
One tried to drink my Diet Coke.
I had great fun spending time with the moms and grammies.
I had even more fun watching my students have fun!
It was the best field trip I have been on so far, thanks to a tip from a teacher. She told me at the last field trip to just post an itinerary of where I would be when, so I didn't have to stress about making everyone happy. Everyone just did their own thing, and a key few hung with me. Much better!
I thought I'd first introduce you to our oldest gnomes. This is Felix. Somewhere on the internet there is a video of Felix being dropped by a teenage girl during a scavenger hunt type youth group activity. He is a little worse for the wear, but he can still stand if propped in a corner.
The second gnome we acquired was Griffin. He's been the baby until yesterday...
My new sweetie pie... He totally called to me while I was innocently browsing fabric. His name is Reuben. He wanted me to buy his brother, Rupert, but Rupert was riding a frog and didn't have a book in his hands. I admit, I have a soft spot for bookworms. So Reuben came home. I am still thinking of Rupert. Not sure how hubby would react to two new gnomes in one week though...
This was just a perfect project box. I have a pretty pink floral lunch box that my sil gave me for my birthday one year, and it often holds whatever project I am working on.

Caught this sight while cruising around last Friday...
The eyes happened by accident as I was transporting leftover Easter egg decorating stickers in my purse. I added the mouth because it does actually talk to me on occasion...
When I hit the driveway each day, these are my favorite things to see:
The dogwood that is always filled with birds clamoring about the feeder:
The azaleas and my gnome friends:
The birdhouse Tab painted:
The birdhouse Tris painted:
The wisteria bush that blooms for oh, so short a time:
The climbing roses we planted last year have almost made the arch and are ready to bloom:
