Spring in the Netherlands -Postcard Friendship Friday #508

I have always loved this beautiful painting.  If you look closely there's quite a lot going on.  There are chickens under the blossoming trees--which, to me look like they're blowing wildly in the breeze.  There's an old wind mill that's seen better days... 

I like to think about the story behind this wonderful piece.

Have a beautiful weekend, Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Something to Crow About -Postcard Friendship Friday#115

Fröhliche Ostern means Happy Easter in German.  This delightful postcard made me laugh.  Here is a boy carrying an egg that just bout beats him in size.  Wow!  That must be such a heavy load.  But what what hits my funny bone are those roosters--They are so happy over that egg--indeed, the size of that egg is certainly something to "crow about."

Fröhliche Ostern and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

PS  I just realized today is National Siblings Day!  I put up a vintage postcard just a few days ago, honoring sisters.  Here's the link:  My Heart's Gift.  Happy Siblings Day, too!

Chicken Dance Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #134

I know it is the 21st--a day after this celebration--but I just couldn't resist the fun.  September 20^th is Chicken Dance Day in Cincinnati, Ohio.

This is a newer holiday which began in 1994, when the Crown Prince of Bavaria visited Cincinnati and participated in their Oktoberfest Zinzanniti celebration.  At that time celebrations included the world's largest chicken dance. With 40,000 people joining in the activity, the event was actually recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.  Can you imagine a crowd that size all doing the chicken dance?  Wow!  The dust cloud must have been incredible--or at least they shook the earth a bit.

Easter Gladness

There is something so precious about baby chick--never mind that they will quickly become chickens. But even adult chickens can be cute and rather interesting.

There is new life all around. Spring has truly sprung with its flowers, babies and a sense of great hope.
