*** i'll drive ***

it's that time of year again..
windows down..
music high..
&
herbie & ruby
wishing for the front seat ..
open windows..
wind in their faces..
dog heaven
i can finally trust herbie..
sorta..
to control himself in the front seat..
i do have a doggie car divider
since past seasons he would
switch gears..turn on wipers..lights..
switch radio station ..
&
of course dig through my garbage!
ugh
all off course when he was left for 2 seconds alone in the car!!
i think he is to big now..
he most often in sitting with his butt on passenger seat front paws on the
floor
:)
super cute!
but poor miss ruby wants shot gun too so
more often than not it is a treat..
an outing alone with me ..
or
they both sit in back so there is no whiners!!
:)
my brother has a new dog..
little macaroni
mac for short
named by little ella.. she is 5 1/2
have to add that half or she would
be disappointed in me
you remember how important that half was when you were 5!
well we visited mac the other day..
he had no idea how to play with a big furry herbie
the only thing he could sorta grip was
herbies legs!!
mac is a black lab mix...
takes off like a rocket!!
here is mr mac

of course he is enjoying spring...
he can take off faster in the grass than the snow!!

i also added another one of my favorite trees..
the gumdrop tree ..
i see it in my dreams.. we picnic here.. on the hill..
day or night
it's magical

*** muddy paws ***

so it rained all day today ..
even heard thunder at times..
very weird...
we still have some...
not much ..
but some snow...
the weather has been warm..
40 degrees ..
so wet.. muddy.. melty ..
gray.. yucky..
don't make me get outta bed days!
but i have learned a few things from
this day of rain
&
the warm days before it ..

1)i swear next year i will rake the leaves
before winter ...
now i know what happens if i don't & i don't advice skipping a year!!

2)pick up dog poo in the winter ..
even if it gets buried by the snow!!
&

3)will remember to turn on the heating on the roof..
beautiful icicles
but what a nasty ice dam!!

all things i am learning being back in minnesota
&
controlling my own destiny!!
scary at times
but
this i can do right?!

*** looky looky ***

i made doors for your favorite little nymph.. gnome...faerie or pixie!
me ...

i have a donut fairy ... i told you about her/him remember?

how lucky am i?!?!?!
VERY
yes i know... !!
you may have one.. you never know... have you looked..?
dreamed .?. believed ...? imagined ... ?
have you been open to the possibilities that they are there.. ?
maybe they would like a door to keep the draft out??
huh? yes a door would be nice right?? .. i know i love my front door!!
here in MN it can get very drafty.. cold .. miserable!!
so we agree a door is a wonderful thing!!
i made one last year for a friend...

she has had sooo many
visitors admiring it.. she lives on a golf course.. i think she has a mulligan fairy!!

so i have been busy building ..
i made one that looks like a ladybug house
see?
for your lovely ladybug fairy

excuse the furry fringed photo..
herbie decided he had to walk past when i took this photo!
ok new photo
:) no furry fringe!

small plaque on door frame reads
~ simplify everything ~
charms & beads on the door read
~ be free ~
&
~ trust in your dreams ~
i know .
perfect

i wood-burned the dark circles
i love to use that tool..
if you dont have one...
ooooo think about it
sooooo fun!!
anyways ..
i also made this door..
it has a spanish flare to it
don't you think?


maybe your taco fairy? tequila gnome!? or
you will love this
your little spicy amor pixie!!
ha!!
she comes out and sprinkles love dust your way!!
now if you ask me .. it is a very good thing to
pamper your spicy amor pixie!!!
this one has a plaque over the door that reads
~ love is patient ~
and silver charms that read
~ follow your heart ~
~ love life live life ~
adorned the door frame with small silver cabochons ..
&
i scrolled the front door with my
wood burning tool
for a little flare!
turned out terrific..
i'm sure she will appreciate my little added special touches..
and will pay it forward to you with extra love!

ladybug door & spicy amor door available in
my etsy shop

they all open!!
yep .. they do ..
hard to find ones that open ..so i made them
:)
