Athena and her Chicks

This requires a closer look.

Oooooh. That's cute. I wanna tickle it.

Kitchy kitchy koo!!

It started out innocent enough. Chick in an Easter basket.

Then we thought, "Hey, this chick would totally fit in Athena's Barbie car."

And it should dine at Cafe Athena with Ken.

See? It loves it.

Then it relaxed in a comfy chair with Barbie.

Have a good nap, chickies!

The wonders of a little back yard in the city

My little gardener loves to tend the flowers.

This is who lives in a hanging basket in the back yard. They come back every year.

A meeting of the minds over the importance of worms in gardening.

What a lovely evening.

Athena + Annabelle = BFF

"Hey, check it out. It's the neighbors' pinwheel."

"What do you think, Annabelle? Should I touch it?"

"Yeah, you should totally touch it."

Aaaaaaaaaand the pictures stop because Athena ripped it apart to make Annabelle laugh. I put the thing back together (trying to mask the hole that's now in it) and we got the heck out of dodge.

(And I just thought this one was cute. It's Annabelle, her mommy, and her uncle.)

An evening with Mommy

We made some gerbera daisy hanging baskets.

Found some rogue violets to transplant as our own.

Got up close and personal with some friendly, busy ants.

Collected some rocks.

And took a lovely evening stroll.... have we mentioned how much we love Spring?
