Saturday fun

Saturday we went to visit some horses. It was a beautiful day out and I wanted to get out in the fresh air. They really are beautiful and big. I don't think people realize how large horses can get. They love to eat the hay but would not take the peppermint we tried to give them. It was a fun afternoon.

Sketch climbing

It's been awhile since I've posted. I have two sketches I want to add. Here is one where a girl is running. I have not figured out what she is running from yet. Maybe she is running from a ghost or a skunk. The other image is the sketch for the IF climbing. I think this is a neat image. I can see a kid doing this... Kids are funny that way and seem to get into all kinds of trouble. :)

IF Similar

Puppies are similar in many ways. What a great time of year to give a gift. I think puppies give back what you give them. :) They make us all smile. Remember you are the face they wake up to and the face they look forward to when you get home.

IF Balloon

Here is one for you. What is kinda like the air in a balloon? You can't see it, you can't smell it, but you can feel it.
Have you ever tried to blow up a balloon and it took off on you? I know I feel like I'm always chasing balloons. :) I love balloons. I have great memories of seeing how long I could keep them up in the air.

Just for fun!

IF Opinion

"In my opinion it's his fault." Shelly said.
This happens in our home all the time. Let the drama begin.

IF Wise

This little guy is wise. How many of you have seen a little one try on his daddy's shoes? It's so cute. I know I use to walk around in my dad's work boots. They felt heavy on my feet and I felt strong. Have you ever noticed how you walk differently with boots on compared to shoes?
