I made it to Round 2 of the ScrapArtist Apprentice Challenge! I'm just thankful I didn't have to do the judging. I still am in awe of all the amazing submissions. Congratulations to all of those continuing on in Round 2. To those who didn't make it, don't lose hope. All of the entries were beautiful and creative and you should be proud of your talent.
Yesterday afternoon was so beautiful here. Warm and sunny, with a slight cool breeze. We finished schoolwork a little early, so dh took Daniel & Doris out in the boat fishing for a little while. JoAnn & I went on a little nature walk on our property. I don't get to spend much time with just one child at a time, so this walk was special to both of us. Much to hubby's dismay, I have convinced him to leave some areas untouched, to let the weeds and wildflowers grow. There are several in bloom now & I had the opportunity to play with the macro mode on my camera. Then we went to the back pasture to check on some of the horses. Here is a layout to remember our walk and the wildflowers in bloom.
Journaling: We went on a walk this afternoon. Just the two of us. Dad took Doris and Daniel out in the boat fishing. I had you all to myself! That doesn't happen very often. We talked and laughed and took lots of pictures. And I picked this pretty yellow wildflower for you to remember the fun we shared.
Last year, my dh purchased this horse named Rooster for Doris. He was supposed to be this fantastic kid's horse, shown by an eight year old, etc. Hubby rode him, he was fine, so he brought him home. Rooster isn't a bad horse, he just has a bit of an attitude. Doris is a little intimidated by him at times and prefers to ride one of the older mares. But not JoAnn! She shakes her finger at him, talks to him, tells him how it's going to be. And the amazing thing is, he seems to actually listen to her. I have to laugh each time they have one of their heart to heart talks.
Journaling: You talk to Rooster like he's a person. Funny thing is, he seems to listen.
