Mr Ladybug was off 4 days and we just took things at a much slower pace than normal. It was just wonderful until this morning when the alarm went off. Even though we didnt have to get up and be anywhere at a certain time we still got up and regular time. We both agree that getting off your sleep schedule is a terrible idea and being tired when you have to get back on can last for days. But getting up and talking things at a much slower pace is the best medicine. Maybe we should find more time to take things slower.
On one of our weekend adventures we were at Rural King in the parking lot looking a colored tomato cages to turn into bird baths and bee watering stations and my hubby spotted this little ladybug. He also sends me pictures of ladybug when he sees them at work and asks me if I know them.
We took a digital photography class on Saturday. It was so informative. We live in a city of over 300,000 people and I am always so amazed when no one signs up for some of these things that we love to do. It was free and there was only one other couple. Learning a few new things really helped me get a decent picture of one of the birds on my list, A carolina chickadee. They fly in really fast to the feeder grab a seed and fly off really fast. Most of my pictures turn out like little blurs.
Around 7:30- 8:30pm is my favorite time to watch the birds. The day is winding down and they are all getting ready for bed or I suppose to roost, I was sitting in my favorite spot and about 4 feet away this woodpecker landed on the suet feeder and stayed for 10 minutes.
We let our chickens out to peck around yesterday and when I went back to the coop to shut their door so no predators would eat them in the night I got the cutest pic of these two girls. I call them the twins because they have been inseparable since we got them at a few days old.
Do you attempt new things regularly? I think its so easy to find something we enjoy doing and keep doing it forever which is not a bad thing but its good for us to attempt new things too. Mr Ladybug and I have a huge list of things we want to try. I decided to play around with cake and cookie decorating, I really love to bake but have not every been to into the decorating part. I found some cute ideas on Pinterest. I saw these butterflies but they used m&ms for the bodies and I wanted to make my own butter cream to make mine. I wanted to make my own wings too but I decided to use the chocolate covered pretzels and am glad I did or I would have been up past my bedtime making these things. I am pretty proud of my creation but am pretty sure I need more practice. I dont think my guys are going to complain either if I practice often and they get to eat my mistakes. I am sure I wont have it mastered by the end of April but I am dedicating April to desert decorating and will attempt something else in May.
