May 2024 Photos Part 1

June 30, 2024 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

It looks like we took a lot of random pictures during May that don’t share themes, so I’ll just do a couple of posts of those. One of the fads during that month was building Lego 4WD vehicles with a lot of flex. The creator of this one took this picture to show the flex.

When I work in the garden, there is often a fantail hanging around. One day I was able to capture this picture of it. Such cheerful little birds! They remind me of the chickadees we had in Michigan.

I took this picture one evening to show two of the older boys who weren’t home what they were missing: Homegrown roasted chicken, roasted potatoes and pumpkin from our garden, and coleslaw (also from our garden). It was delicious! One of the boys showed up in time to get some, but the other didn’t.

Mr. Sweetie discovered this when he went out to do his morning chores on a very cold morning.

This dress got ripped, so I got creative with a patch. I did talk the dress’s owner into using fabric that coordinated with the dress–she wanted to use some really wild fabric she found in my stash! I let her have that bit on the back to provide support there.

Three years ago, we let this little girl play with beans that were soaking–and she still occasionally asks to when she sees them on the counter!

This was the entertainment the evening we spent with friends in early May. He got a few levels higher before his tower collapsed!

Kea, the yellow and green budgie, does not like to be handled–but if Jo-Jo the cockatiel is on someone’s shoulder, she often lands beside him for a few minutes. Miss Joy loves when that happens!
