Roots and Wings

Here is my first try at illustrating the first page of "Roots and Wings" - Tim's awesome poem! Hope you all can see it OK. I still have to add some music notes on the score that's flying through the room - but I thought maybe Tim might want to write a little ditty for that and I could actually put the exact notes down. Anyway, lots of fun! Enjoy!

Sunday Tour of VT

Hi Mommy and Everyone! Mom, I hope these VT Spring pictures cheer you up! Because I want you to get better and be back to the healthy Mom we know! I love you soooooo much! Katie


Here is a beautiful little Trout Lily that was out in the horse pasture at the Barry's house. I just loved how pretty and perfectly shaped it was and the beautiful markings on the leaves - like a trout! :)

Here's a pic from atop the Warren Pass. Sandy and I drove that way to Aunty's house yesterday. Usually it takes about 45min to get to Aunty's via the interstate - but the way we took was almost 2 hours! Although I think we were a little lost a one point! But the Spring scenery was worth it!!!

A Trillium! So pretty! And I could't believe how many there were just everywhere in the woods!

Another Warren Pass pic

This pic was taken, again on our way to Aunty's, and I think we were in Braintree - but it was so pretty because we were way up on a ridge and the road was riding along the top ot it. So beautiful!

A sign post just outside of Warren. Do you see the Blueberry Lake sign? I really want to check that out - I guess there is great x-country skiing and blueberries in the summer!

Aunty took this of Sandy and I at the cliffs at her house - we were out looking at wild flowers!

The horses were just put into a new pasture of green spring grass - they are running out to enjoy it!

Sandy and I - on the way up a mountain to Braintree

A garden witch! Someone had made this funny scarecrow lady in the garden! I think she's pretty cool!

A nice view over a farm going up Warren pass

Opening some b-day presents with Elise!

Sandy and I relaxing in Aunty's hammock - lots of nice memories in that spot from VT summers past.

Katie's Garden

Hello! Here are a few pics of my new gardens that I've made. The Flower garden is the one that's in the diamond shape and I'm really happy with it so far and the one with the wood plankes is our tiny veggie garden which has lettuce and spinach planted in it so far. I'm thiking I may have to make another little bed for an herb garden too! :) And here is also a pic of the things I have going in side - tomatoe plant that will get to go outside in the summer, my big copper window box and a flower pot. Hope you feel better soon Mom! Love you all! - Katie

Mama's B-day

Here are two pictures from Mama's 49th birthday. A beautiful bouquet and a funny strawberry cake with candles that would blow out.
