April in Maine? How Foolish.

Fuzzy Bug Scrappy Buddy by MakingsofShannaTice
 Ah yes, it's that time again.

April has arrived in Maine (and elsewhere, I'm told).

Just this morning, while poking around out in the dooryard, I spied the tender shoots of a lone tulip just breaking through the still thawing earth. Perhaps the fact that it's growing directly beneath the dryer vent accounts for its courage.          Or perhaps its foolishness. Time, and laundry, will tell.

Tulip notwithstanding, there are still scattered patches of snow on the ground. Up here Down East we know better than to start planting our gardens until early June. The threat of frost hangs over us until then.

In any event, to welcome this new month I've put together a sweet little collection of offerings by members of the Etsy Maine Team.

We're logical, plain spoken folk up here ...

The Great Fedora Chase of 2013



 It happened in the
State of Maine






















where a
Dramatic pre Dawn










was breaking and members of the
Etsy Maine Team










 
were dreaming
Sweet Dreams


















Then

















yelled:
Rise and Shine

















which started a wild
Pillow
















fight which woke up a sleeping
Tabby Cat













who ran away with a
Fedora















and tripped a knitting lady who used her
Cotton Swiffer Covers














to sweep it off to a
Snowman














who hid it in a
Dragonfly Ceramic Mug














where it was discovered by a
Dirty White Boy


















who put it in a
Recycled Chicken Feed Bag



















which was grabbed by a lady wearing
Wool Mittens
















who switched it for a
Kid's Wascaly Hunter's Cap
























And so ... the well traveled fedora remains at large,
its current location a peekaboo mystery fit for
Sherlock Chick
Meanwhile, back at the Etsy Maine Team
Juke Joint











it's always
Sock Monkey Party Time












and you can enjoy a
Cup of Tea and a Bisquit


















Come join the fun!

And if you see that wandering fedora, please send it home
to Rough Magic Creations!

The Day the Squirrel Got In

Original Painting by CastleOnTheHill
Every year about this time, I curate a treasury on Etsy.com, commemorating a real life event that Joe and I experienced a few years back.

This is the 4th Annual Edition of "The Day the Squirrel Got In."
