More Paintings :D

I am just now figuring out that I LOVE to paint. It is so fun! I painted the one with the flip flops in Art class. It took me about 4 hours. I had no clue what I was doing for the first two hours, then I started initiating my own decisions, instead of asking my teacher what to do every 10 minutes. After that I bought my own oil paint and some brushes.

I painted the Yellow Rose yesterday. It took about 6 hours. I stayed up really late and got up early today to finish it. It's for Mom's Mothers-Day gift. The only problem at the start was that I hadn't bought any yellow paint yet. Kinda important. :) And my Art teacher gave me his! Wasn't that nice? And it's not cheep stuff. My art teachers name is B.J. Normile. He is a superb instructor. I think he is about to turn 70. I always have such a good time in his classes. And the best thing is he will let you do what you really enjoy.

This one is in my room. (I have blue walls)

My Wonderful Friend's Flowers

On Sunday we sometimes go over to our friends house and play Frisbee on a nearby vacant lot. And when we all went inside to get a drink of water at the end, I noticed a beautiful Iris and rose bushes. Bethany said that we should go and cut some and I thought that she meant for a vase or something to put inside, but she gave them to me! Wasn't that sweet?! They are absolutely gorgeous! I took so many pictures of them it was hard to decide which to put on this blog. You can't smell the roses, but at least you can look at them.




My Strawberries are blooming.




This rose had three middles.




Right after this picture the cat bit the rose and took off with it! But I recovered it undamaged.










This flower makes me smile when I think of it's name. Petunia :) It sounds like a Texan lady's name.




I found this in our flower bed. I didn't have the heart to kill it, so I threw it in the neighbours yard. ;D



This was the Iris on day two. But happily there was another hidden bloom underneath it.

Ain't it purdy?

I used to look at Roly-Pollies for hours when I was little. And now I have a reason to again! (To take pictures... of course :) They are so interesting! Especially when you roll them over and look at their legs. I think that they are also called "Pill Bugs" because they roll up into a ball like an armadillo, and look like a pill. And people used to take them like pills. They are a good source of protein. Yummy right?

But they are so cute I would only eat them if I was starving on a desert Island. And even so they can only live where it is really moist, so I wouldn't have to eat them. If I had to choose between a worm and a pill bug I would most defiantly eat the latter. They are actually a crustacean, and not an insect at all. Pill bugs are more related to shrimp and crawdads then your normal every day bug.

Spring Tidings

This one's a slow fellow, but he's my favorite.


I liked this bee. She stayed and washed herself like a cat, so I could get a good picture of her.





My Spinach is coming up and so are my beans! I've never grown either of them, it's going to be so interesting. I love to see things grow. There is something therapeutic about getting into the dirt, getting rid of the old and making way for the new.
