A bird at the nest

I will never grow up, so chalk crayons on a piece of rock will always be fun for me. This time I drew a bird and a nest. Many birds are busy right now with watching over their eggs. This bird has the nest high up in a tree. Maybe it's a whitetailed eagle. Anna

Ladybird on my doorstep

The first ladybird of the year. At least the first I have seen this Spring. As a kid I thought they were fantastic beautiful little fairy tale creatures.  As a grown up I know they can be millions and then they are not fun at all. In Swedish we call them KeyMaiden in a direct…

Have you something to say…

...about the icky bad white stuff that took me almost three hours of shoveling yesterday evening? I could continue this evening but I'm tired of shoveling and walk millions of miles during the shoveling. At least it feels like that when the snow never ends. Above that it's freezing cold outside. The temperature is -10…
