This little chicken wasn't born at Easter. When I think of Easter I think of eggs, young birds and spring. And so I remembered this beautiful little creature. Eric & I haven’t got children. Raising this little one made us feel like parents.
Two years ago two of our hens, Clara & Grijs, laid three eggs each. With excitement we waited till the little ones were born. Five eggs hatched short after each other. Clara left the nest with her three babies and one moment Grijs also had enough of waiting till the last egg hatched and left the nest. We checked the last egg with a torchlight and discovered movement inside.
So we couldn't leave this egg be and built our own 'nest' assuming it wouldn't take long to hatch. It took a whole week and on the day we wanted to give up there was Hummie. The plan was to put the little one back with Grijs as soon as it was up and running.
Unfortunately it was already too late and Grijs didn’t accept Hummie as her baby. So Eric and I had to take care of her. So that is how it happened that we slept with a little baby chicken in our bedroom for almost two months.
We built Hummie a closed home inside the henhouse so she could get used to her other family. After two months we decided with pain in our heart that Hummie had to be more with her own family and that she had to sleep in the henhouse at night.
The first day that I dared to leave her alone with the other chickens she must have left the henhouse in a panic. When I came home she was gone. I searched everywhere in our neighborhood, asked the schools around, hung up flyers, but nobody had seen her. Hummie did not come back.
What I think that happened is that she was taken by schoolchildren at the playground behind our garden. She was so used to people that she probably was attracted by the sound of the children.
The disappearance of Hummie had broken my heart. I felt so bad about leaving her alone that day. She was only a chicken, but she was my little one. I held her when she was just outside the egg. She used to sleep on my shoulder with her head tucked away in my hair. She followed me everywhere in the garden and we used to go on spider hunt together.
Hummie is the little chicken on my head in my profile picture in Facebook and Twitter. I have never forgotten her and I never will.
Forgot to take a photo of this before i went to paint. And i broke rule #1 right away: fussing way too much. Hoping to attempt the alternative approach, which is drawing in ink first and measure in pencil over the top.
It's no surprise to those who know me how crazy I am for those smoochie faced pugs! This prompt was all about " falling for " and therefore I borrowed some adorable images of pugs off Flickr to demonstrate all the reasons I love them. Pugs #1 through #7 belong to the following:

The prompt was - A day to myself
For this spread I used some vintage wallpaper textiles, that I purchased from Joanna Cloughs Etsy shop. Also, I used some Washi tape on the bottom, some distress ink to ink the edges of the pages, music papers, and book pages . Lastly, I made a tag for secret journaling, and stitched fabric to the top of it. I took a dried flower and taped it to the textile pocket as a unique embellishments! I love creative journaling!
Trichiosoma triangulatum (?)' Sawfly larva, A tentative ID as to species. A very prompt comment by Abigail M. Parke at bugguide.net after I posted this larva there. "They do look amazingly like caterpillars! There are two big differences: sawflies have more prolegs (6 or more pairs; caterpillars never have more than 5), and fewer eyes - only one on each side of the head; caterpillars have six tiny ones per side. That big sawfly eye stands out really well here - I could even see it in the thumbnail. On dark-headed larvae the eyes are hard to see, and then you have to count prolegs. With a light head like this, the eyes have it." Cimbicid Sawfly Family, Hymenoptera, Cimbicidae, West Bragg Creek, Kananaskis Country, 2639August_20__2009

The word prompt for day 9 was drizzle!
Since I started this boot camp a few days behind everyone, I did look a head a bit to see the different word prompts. Of all of them I saw, I was the most excited about this one! I really didn't know what to do at first, but then I thought, I'm a meteorologist! This should be right up my alley! That's when I remembered the weather maps I look at every day for work. They have symbols for all the different kinds of weather that could be occurring at any time. They have multiple symbols for drizzle and some of them are displayed under the umbrella in the picture above. This is one of my favorites of this boot camp so far!

Flutter, day late and this is all I could find. When I cut on the ceiling fan the plant and curtains flutter ever so gently. I could capture their movement but I can capture the cause of that movement.
