Good Morning!

The Bunnies are Here!

The Bunnies are taking a short break as they prepare for Easter

and have come for tea!

Mr. and Mrs. Bunny in tea pot style are dancing their way to Easter.

The small bunny and egg mug was hand made and painted by 

a couple living in New Mexico known as

Rabbit Artworks.

(Daffodils on the background.)

The little bunny salt and pepper shakers make me smile.

They are a handsome couple!

(Love the carrots on his suspenders.)

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

These are just a few of the wonderful tea parties in the blogging world:

Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday

Tea Time Tuesday

Teacup Tuesday

Wishing you WELL and a wonderful cup of TEA!

Springtime!

It's Springtime!

Today we started with a cool morning and will have a high near 90.

The humidity starts coming back late today.

I wanted to do some experimenting with some of the mosaics I have presented before

and add some shots to celebrate Springtime and Easter.

The Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush are in bloom on the Rice University campus.

It seems like Spring happens for the first time each year!

Do you remember the blooms being this lovely last year?

Or the sky as blue (on those days without humidity)?

Listen to the birds sing!

New life.

New beginnings.

Courage and strength.

I'd like to thank
Mary at Mosaic Monday
and

Seasonal Sunday at The Tablescaper

for being wonderful hosts.

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week!

This and That

I thought I'd try my hand at another This and That post.

But first, it is Friday and that means

Postcard Friendship Friday.

This time it looks like the anthropomorphic bunnies have finished

preparing the jelly beans for Easter.

The unknown artist had quite an imagination.

A big thank you to Beth for being the hostess for Postcard Friendship Friday.

I can procrastinate with the best of them.

Now I can procrastinate the mindful way thanks to an article I found

at the Elephant Journal called 

Mindful Living Through Productive Procrastination!

While I'm procrastinating over what I should really be doing,  I can do things like:

organize my closet, do the laundry, empty the dishwasher, weed the garden,

get a haircut, make a dental appointment.

I'm sure many of you know about Meatless Monday.

Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of preventable conditions like

cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.

It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and 

save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.

You can read more about Meatless Monday and find recipes at their website.

Speaking of recipes:

This one is meatless from Whole Foods.

I almost forgot.
For those of you into mixed media --
Christy Tomlinson has a wonderful video featuring materials from Faber Castell.
It's really worth watching to see her little hope filled girl come to life.
