wild horses . . .

one of my students has a farm with miniature ponies and he invited us out to see the new spring arrivals . . .

they were oh so very sweet . . .
 

we invited cute girl from kindergarten class to go with us.  really her mom and i set the whole thing up.  hee.  while her mom was off tending her little brother cute girl says to g, "my mom thinks you're cute."  i thought i was going to get punched for that as g does not like to be in the same sentence with girls, but he surprised me transforming into rico suave before my eyes and responding, "yea, everyone says that."  ha!
 

rico was not so suave on the pony.  my high school boys thought this was somewhat hilarious as cute girl was much braver for her pony ride . . .

 

cute girl was also much braver about climbing the fence to get in the pigpen.  i have to defend my baby here though.  you can see the pork chop is not afraid of the big beasts.  truly it is heights he fears and i don't blame him for that one at all.
  
 
and i really should not post this horribe photo here.  or at the very least i should decorate the offending focal point with a butterfly a la pioneer woman.  the high school boys were really laughing at my irritation with this boar ruining my photo op.  and i think i shall end here. ;)

yesterday . . .

the gman was very excited to wake up and find his mother's day plant blooming.  i told him i needed to take a picture and he wanted me to right away.  and wasn't it nice of pepito to join in the festivities?

i really need to get a new 50 mm lens as i lost the lens cap on mine and the glass has really gone downhill.  it's not taking such great pics anymore, but i haven't yet found the $ to replace it.  sigh.

   
one of g's little buddies came over in the morning and stayed all day.  10 hours of social time.  the gman was in heaven.  they were thoroughly impressed with this massive dragonfly that flew in the open door.  i was impressed with all the things that little boys can think of to do in a day.  they were busy bees i tell ya.

i was not a busy bee, but i did manage to get this layout done.  thanks to my baby niece, i finally got to use some of the tiny prima rosebuds i bought a few months ago.  also lots of american crafts dear lizzy, k&co brads, some old pp (scenic route and basic grey) and jbs chipboard frame.
