Starting the week early this monday morning with all the windows open and fresh country air blowing in . Just seen a herd of geese fly on by and two deer cross the road . Enjoyed the weekend warm weather but this nice weather does not suit all as Izzy's allergies have been put in over drive these days . So one under the weather girl but still making the most of it . Some fresh rhubarb sitting on my counter for some crumble muffins to be made . I sure enjoy our country life and what comes with it too . We have a grass pasture to use for animals but not ready for us to take that on for timing reasons yet ! But have some neighbours that have brought over there horses to enjoy the lush green grass that grows wild out there . So a peak out the back window and you can see horse running around . The novelty has not worn off forr the girls yet and maybe will not wear off I am not sure . Izzy new fave word has gone from Kittie Kittie to horsey quite fast .
Have promised to share our summer to do list and what better day to do that then warm sunshine day too .
So here it is . and this is where the idea sparked from check it out
here .
It was made last year to be reusable .SO I had a huge old frame bonus was that it did not have real glass in it as the kids like to check it out often . I used leftover paper that was sitting around my craft room . Its a plastic over top of the paper then I use a sharpie for the writing then I can use a magic Mr. Clean eraser to wash off from year to year .
