Memorable May

May Flowers from April's showers

Mother's Day makes us think of flowers.  

dandylions, flox, lilacs, crocuses,apple blossoms

Mothers are dependable with an artist's eye, 

They inspire, clean, feed, and nourish your soul.

Mothers are colorful, care-giving, and full of advice,(whether wanted or unwanted)

We couldn't be our best without them,

So here are some mom flowers to cherish in May.

Then there is the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May, a hat with a flower is sure to be enjoyed.

And then there is Graduations, may they all grow in respect, (charm), and kindness throughout their years.  Dr. Suess with OH The Places You'll GO is a great encouraging book for all.

April is full of good things

Green Magic

March Marvels

Are you thinking green yet…..     green sprouts are growing, sure to bring snow again.  The calves are tiny and trying to hold themselves up in the wind is a full-time job.

Faith is a gift and we are all blessed to be,

So thankful and free.

Happy Daylights Saving time, spring forward, don't fall

Happy St Patrick's Day

and then Happy Easter to all.

Some good reads for children:

Home is where the Horses are...

inside:  Just pulling for you

     Horses have Heart 

     Happy Valentines Day.  In kindergarten, everything revolves around holidays.  So here's a new twist on soft and cuddly Valentines.  Everyone loves the soft part of the horses' head, their nose.  Kids tell me all the time,  that's what they love about the horses.  Here for the Heart and card-giving month of the year I am displaying all the horse-loves, I have painted.  They come in cards of 5x7 or 4x6, $3 or 11 for $30.  Just email me at lbpier@gmail.com

Happy New Year

New years centerpiece

Thank you for all the beautiful Christmas cards, it was the year of the Tree, (many cards had a tree on them) and the Photo cards were stunning, love to see all the families grow, again heartfelt appreciation for keeping up the tradition.

      i have a fetish for barns, so here is the latest photo, up along side the Bridger mountains,…

winter-feedings brings gifts to wildlife 

  The New year brings reflection and warm tidings to all.  May 2016 be your best year yet. 

    I am blessed with awesome neighbors, (Thank you all so much), and great animals and a wonderful home for us to live.  

    Winter has brought lots of snow to our mountains (and our driveways! )  






   Calving will begin at the end of the month, so hope for healthy calves and Happy mother-cows, (Hummers, we called them, because they moo softly and consistently when calving.)
Here's a painting of Herfords which we don't have but a pretty picture just the same.

Good reading this month:

The Merriest Time of the Year

 

Cross-country skiing with Shep and Dash (they are paiently waiting while I take pics)

    December has brought huge dumps of Christmas snow to the mountain and hill country of Montana.  That is great for next summers' grass population.  

       It also brings a quietness and stillness to the beautiful but shortest of days.  Today is the shortest day of the year, so that brings hope as well, each day will be seconds longer than the last and then minutes and so on.  

        Of course, the snow also brings a white Christmas.  This brings all the musical sounds of the season to your heart.  So here's to you and yours to have a Miracle Christmas and a Healthy new year.

Autumn Thanks

A Thankful Time of Year

A time of year that reminds us all, how much we are    blessed, and how we should live each day ; thankful

My sincere Thanks to all family and friends for their support, praise, and love.

As one of my Kindergartners said, "God is a beautiful artist."
