Just a pretty picture – The Olive Sparrow

Of Kids and Lambs and Blue Eggs

These images – the second batch of our wonderful March break week, was meant to be posted a few weeks back. Yet looking at the pix and processing them for this here blog made me realize how seasonally appropriate they are.

Enjoy!

At the farm of my friends co-worker and friend in Mount Albert, Ontario.

Angora Goats and kids (2 days old), sheep (sorry I forgot the exact breed), wonderful medley of different breeds of chickens and their gorgeous eggs, lambs – a bit early this year, papa-sheep before and after his shearing, Huxley and the youngest daughter of the farm with a lamb.

I did not notice how beautifully subtle and harmounious the colours of the animals where with the landscape until I started to process the images.

Easter is such a wonderful festival to celebrate the re-awakening of life in nature! This has been the greenest celebration I have experienced in my almost 25 years here in Toronto. It is wonderful. I hope you have a chance to go for a walk outside and fill yourself up with reawakening life.

Wishes for you

Somebody’s got new shoes…

El Naturalista clogs:

and during the same visit discovered our new Lego Store - all within 30min driving distance.

That makes one very happy 7 year old boy and one very happy "multiple times 7 yr old" Mami (as I'm called around here – because as I've just been informed, Mom or Mother doesn't sound as much full of love — smart kid, hope he keeps it up)..

More good news: the finger's cast can be off except for heavy lifting or dangerous work (Mothering and Wife-ing doesn't count I as dangerous and heavy work I was told).

Things that need to be improved this coming week: glasses broken for the 3rd time (new frame each time) need to be replaced – probably with a different frame, which is so sad, as I'm loving this one; ruptured ear-drum continues healing; final plantings need to go into the garden; time for doll making, felting and art promo must be created; piles of clean and sun-dried laundry must be folded and put away; farmers market must be visited to see if there are any strawberries yet (or other yummies); somebody must be hired to manage a steady summer weather temperature – the person currently doing the job should be let go.

Off to the laundry-line….
