new art journal

I bought this beautiful new journal on Friday with funds from a Chapters gift card I'd been given recently. I needed another journal like I needed a hole in the head, but I couldn't resist the gorgeous blues in the picture on the front cover. I'm going to fill it with collages and intentions for my new life.

yellow flowers

Mom brought me these gorgeous yellow flowers when she and Dad came to dinner the other night. The larger blossom is a little disfigured, but apparently Mom didn't have a lot of choice, the day after Valentine's Day.

antler

I found this really awesome antler while helping some farmers set up saplines in their sugar bush on the weekend. I'm currently displaying it in my front room; my friends think it looks like a claw. I'm guessing it's from a white-tailed deer, which are common in this area. Hard to tell from the photo, but the short tip has been vigorously chewed by some kind of rodent.
