Mother's Day

Took Mom to Krohn Conservatory for the Butterfly Show for Mother's Day.











At the end of our day we came across these little "hobbit houses" with no explanation....I think we're going to try and figure out how to make our own.

It's a hound? It's a horse? It's a bunny?

This photo was sent to me by my dear friend Jamie and it's just too funny not to share. I can't stop laughing at it every time I browse through the photos on my iphone.

What is it?

A bunny topiary. We initially wanted to use topiaries as centerpieces for a "Alice in Wonderland" themed bridal shower we were throwing for our friend, Tara. When we discovered real topiearies were close to $100 a pop, we quickly explored other options and this was Jamie's solution. After purchasing 3 weird bunny topiaries and letting them chill on her kitchen counter for 1 night, she and her husband Blake both concluded they were too creepy and sadly, these freaks of Easter were returned the following day and this is what Jamie had to say about it:

"RIP- weird bunny topiaries. I brought them home and they just kept creeping me out so I took them back. I just couldn't get past the giant football player man asking me if they were racing horses or greyhounds in full stride."

Hah! Poor bunny topiaries!

So....what did we end up using? Flower-filled tea-pots...and they were beautiful and a tad bit more practical than creepy bunny topiaries...don't you agree?

SPRING!

I took a walk around the hood on this gorgeous day and relished in a few of my favorite signs of spring:

-The sweet smell of honeysuckle

-Newly formed cherry blossoms making their first appearance

-The hooting of Doves before dusk

or is it called hoo-ing?....or is it called purring?

What do you call the sound a dove makes?

Yay Spring! *insert side jump heel click*
