What's That Smell?

My grandson William and I took a Spring Flower walk together. He has so many flowering trees and plants on his property and this afternoon was perfect for checking them out.

We had lots of exploring to do!

The honeysuckle are so fragrant!

What's that smell?

Oh that smells good!!!!

Ready to find some more flowers

Bluebells!

William's lilacs are in full bloom and smell wonderful

We decided they were our favorite of the day.

Happy "That smells wonderful" Wednesday!

Errands Aren't So Bad

 No one likes running errands.  Especially when the errand is getting gas.  And DOUBLE especially when the price of gas keeps increasing.  There is only one way to make a gas run better. Bring a best friend (or two!)

Come on best buddies!

Ready to assist you at the fuel pump M'Lady

Thanks Doodle Doggies!

It was our pleasure.  Might I suggest a stop at the dog biscuit store on the way home?  See?  Errands aren't so bad!

Nothing But Blue Skies

Journal Pen Holders - Y Acres Studio

We have been so busy lately and our schedule for the rest of May is completely booked. Needless to say, the Y Acres Studio has been a little quiet this month.  We are so looking forward to June when we can spend more time in the studio.  We have some new projects that we can't wait to get started on!  We did manage to squeeze in a fun project this week.  

Journal bookmark pen holders!

Time to pick out some fun fabrics

Of course- you can never make just ONE bookmark!

Double Pencil Holder 

One for larger journals and one for smaller books

I think they are so cute!

Perfect for taking notes and holding reading glasses

I use this one for all my pattern drafting

Now I can turn right to a fresh page 

and start drawing

My favorite journal

Ready for the next idea!

Sweet William

 Every day we get to see this cute smile and it brightens up our whole world.

Sweet William

walking in a field of "Sweet William"!

Days spent with the ones you love are simply the best

Ms. Ladybug is enjoying her 12th birthday with sunshine and flowers.

The "Morel" of the Story

Mr. Yesteryear Acres did a little bit of hiking today in search of morels.  We all wished him luck as last year the morel hunting was fairly sparse.  We LOVE morels and were hoping Mr. Yesteryear Acres would bring home a lovely appetizer.  Our wish came true!!!!

Success!

Look at this crop!!!!

This might just be the best text Mr. Yesteryear Acres has ever sent!

Definitely the winner!

The "Morel" of the story.... 

Always have Mr. Yesteryear Acres do the hunting!

Waiting For Garden Season

It is no secret that Ernie McDoodle loves his veggies!! He has been waiting and waiting for our garden season to begin. Since it cannot come fast enough, for doodles and vegetarians alike, I just HAD to get this treat puzzle for Ernie! 

Look Ernie! A carrot!

"Hmm, Mom, this carrot smells a lot like my favorite Greenie chewies"

"I better take a closer look..."

"Well I'll be! This carrot IS my treat!!"

"Now how to get it the heck out of here!"

If anyone needs Ernie McDoodle, he will be on his bed waiting for gardening season the best way he knows how!

Always,

Amelia
