5-17-2014 Time Out in the Naughty Corner
Mommy said
I cannot go outside to play
without any clothes on
so while she wasn't looking
I slipped on my new sweater
and snuck outside
to ride my tricycle...
smell the lilacs...
swing in the swing...
rest in the lawn chair...
and when I heard mommy calling for me
I hid in the rhubarb...
but she found me
and sent me back inside
for a 'time out' in the 'naughty corner.'
Guess I won't try this again
until I get some pants!

5-14-2014 Tai Chi Wheels
While on my morning walk
I came across a park
with a small 'playground'
full of exercise equipment/stations,
one of which was these
Tai Chi Wheels.
I've never seen anything like this before
but found it intriguing
since I have studies and practiced Tai Chi
for more than a year.

5-11-2014 Noah
Spent Mother's Day
'giving birth'
to my next 'baby'
from the "Little Boy Blue" KAL...
~needle-felted the face~
~assembled and sewed together all the body parts~
~and just as I had finished sewing him together,
the dark blue clouds that have been raining all day today
parted and gave way to a beautiful double rainbow
so my doll and I dashed outdoors to enjoy the sight!
I decided that since he was 'born'
on a rainy day
under a rainbow
I have to name him NOAH.
Now, to make him some clothes!
________
Happy Mother's Day
to my mom in heaven,
to my M-I-L,
to my dear daughter,
to my dear D-I-L,
to my dear sisters-in-law,
and many friends
who are all amazing mothers!
And Happy "Good Shepherd Sunday!"

5-9-2014 Pella Iowa Tulips
DH & I
drove to Pella Iowa today
to view the 300,000+ tulips
they plant each year for their Tulip Festival.
They were in their peak...
only 2 or 3 beds about spent
and another 2 or 3 beds not yet open
but the rest were open in all their glory!
5-8-2014 Spring Blooms...Finally!

After our morning's walk at the park
DH & I stopped to smell the flowers
at the lilac garden.
Mmm...

5-6-2014 Starved Rock
DH & I recently saw
an Illinois tourism commercial
on television
that featured a beautiful waterfall.
DH did some research on the internet,
found out where that waterfall is,
and today we went for a hike
and enjoyed that waterfall
as well as several others
at Starved Rock Park.
5-5-2014 Pie Making 101
After pulling the rhubarb from the garden,
GD washed each piece very carefully,
then Oma cut them into pieces.
Next, GD mixed in the sugar, tapioca and orange zest
with her hands,
and after playing with a small piece of pie dough
while Oma rolled the rest of the dough
she carefully placed the rhubarb filling into the pie tins.
Next, GD helped Oma pinch on,
and poke holes into
the top crust
and
then Oma
put the pies into the hot oven.
Mmmm...
you can taste the TLC!
