A Wee Little Tree-Nature-fied

Pardon the slightly off-kilter

calendar...

I was scanning it in and

whooops...it got kinda

skewed...a bit like me..

Just a bit "off" as they

would say in polite company;>)

Anway, every year I look forward

to picking this calendar up for

my desk area.

I love

Marjolein Basten's artwork..

She does nature like

nobody else does nature.

It is sweet without being

"gooshy" and full of

her own take on

God's little blessings...

plants, flowers, birds

& bees.

Below is a gathering

of the months for next year.

A few years ago I noticed

that Hallmark was

carrying her ornaments.

And, being the collectaholic that

I am..

and loving gardening

and nature..

I bought one..

and anohter..

and another..

y'all know what I'm talking about

now, don't you?

Here's her little sled..

Oh~ and look at that little

watering can.. with the little pots..A little birdhouse..Another little birdhouse..
A miniature wreath with even more

miniature birds..And this delightful little snowman

looking old and well-loved

although he's new(er)...And my favorite..

The Garden Gate...All nestled into this little

2' tall tree..

dripping with icicles...

taken with the camera turned sideways..

And, the most important

little one of all..

What garden could be complete

without our dear little

Peter Rabbit?

I told SweetCheeks that

Mama Rabbit

is buttoning his little coat

so that he can go out and

steal carrots..

SweetCheeks says

Noah- I don't think hers is

buttoning hims coat...

Hers is

checking his throwat for

sores, Nana!

Hmnmmmm...

What do YOU think?
