Around the House

 This is the calendar I did

for April 

on my bulletin board in the kitchen.

I think it turned out pretty cute!

 I love how the little duckies turned out!

And, the other day I was sitting at my dining room table

and heard a morning dove.

I looked up and saw that he was right there 

on the deck railing.

He was pacing back and forth,

probably getting tired of waiting for spring!

Bye for now!

Downtown Minneapolis

 After the flower show 

we always go to the downtown

Barnes and Noble.

There is my girl peeking over the balcony.

It's one of her favorite places to go.

And we also stopped to 

check out the street level windows

at Macy's.

 

 More of those beautiful umbrellas!
