Peeps In The Village

Yesterday, we took a drive to Peddlers Village to see the 

Peeps-Tastic display that showcases the artistic talents of their local residents.

Wall Art, Sculptures and Dioramas are creatively crafted with marshmallow peeps.

Bright bunnies and cute colorful chicks are at the center of the displays.

The viewers vote for winners in the three different categories, it is super fun to see and to vote.

I will share a few of my favorites today, the rest on another day.

It was a super warm day with bright sunshine, no jacket was required.

This Egg Sculpture was my favorite.

I loved the soft Eastery colors, how well it was designed

and put together with such care.

The Muppeep Show

This Haunted House was one of my favorites too.

There was a lot of attention to detail and I thought it was extremely creative.

This was a book...

Diary of a Whimpy Peep

Peddlers Village in located in Bucks County, Pa.,

We had a super fun day, a wonderful dinner...

I am just too tired right now to download all of the pictures we took.

A Walk On The Beach

Wednesday was such a beautiful day...the perfect day for a walk along the sun drenched beach.

The turquoise water was calm with gentle rolling waves.

The sand was so soft and warm, the air was crisp and filled with a gentle scent of salt.

- We Found Paradise -

Our favorite beach... 

Howe Street Beach in Bayhead New Jersey

Newly planted dune grass.

The beach is decorated for Easter...

At the inlet, we saw the "Moon Pool" a boat I have never seen in the past.

Last stop, 

Shore Fresh, our favorite seafood destination...for the freshest and best seafood money can buy.

Hot, fresh and delicious, their fried shrimp is outstanding!

Inspired by Pinterest

I often turn to Pinterest for inspiration.

I gather inspiration creatively but I am more drawn to the recipes and food.

It's been a while since I have compiled a post like this...

sharing what my interests have been on Pinterest.

Dinosaurs Are Lurking.....

  right here in the forest in New Jersey's own Allaire State Park.

- T-Rex, Triceratops, Pterodactyl and Stegosaurus -

Each dinosaurs is constructed entirely of material found in the forest,

Robin Ruggiero really brought the woods to life.

Difficult to see in these photographs, but a joy to see in person,

- Welcome to Robinwoods -

T-Rex

ooooh man, the hubs got caught with his hand in T-Rexes mouth.

Stegosaurus

Pterodactyl

A bit hard to see but if you focus, you can see it's head bending toward you!

Triceratops

Two small benches constructed by the Girl Scouts, you can sit a spell and enjoy the dinosaurs.

 The next 4 pictures are of the Girl Scout Tee-pees.

and a kind word of thanks!

This was a nice, fairly short walk into the woods, it is best enjoyed if you are able to see it in person.

We went on Saturday, 

it was sunny and warm, and I was so happy to be able to make the 5 minute walk by myself.

It really feels like spring, I hope you are able to get outside and enjoy it!
