The End of February

  Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's just about the  last day of the month. For  such a wintery month it definitely flew by for me. That is a surprise because I have reached the point where I have had enough of winter, and usually when I get to that point, it feels like time has stopped. Although March doesn't look like it is going to start off very spring-like, I hope that the lion is exhausted and the lamb follows quickly.  I'm basing comment that on the cliche, that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

   Today I am joining Gillena for her Friday Lunch Break and also Nicole for her Friday Face Off.

  Since it's the end of February I thought I'd wrap up  my travel journal to Nova Scotia. There's a lot of faces in this post too.  In fact, I've focused on pages with  faces for this post.


   On the right (above) you can see glasses and eyes, a sort of face, stamped on some acetate. It's on the left in this next photo as the acetate gets flipped over.



    There's another partial face on the right on this spread above. Poor Pete. Twice on the trip  alarms went off, and they upset him.


    There's a face on the Louisbourg  postcard on the right. The left is my take on a bunch of rainbows we saw while driving that day.


And ha ha, here's some chicken faces. I had had chicken tenders for dinner at Costco that night. 


    It was September when we traveled. Apple season. Could we find a stand to buy some? Nope. Of course we probably just didn't know where they were, but we did find some at a Grocery store. I fussy cut these apples out of a sheet of paper and added a face to one of them.  And on the left you can see a grumpy old face, a moon, that I cut out of some tissue paper.


    I love the Mi'kmaq spirit crow above.  It's a cool sticker I found on the trip. And finally, below, a Tim Holtz stamped image of a dog, which was how Maddie looked at that moment. She ended up sick to her stomach, and it was my fault because I ignored her "I need to go out" look.  She ended up sitting  in the car for a little longer than needed and stressed out, and that caused her to get an upset tummy.



   That's all for me today. Have a great rest of your Friday, rest of the month, and  a great start to the weekend.

Yes, March is my least favorite month as I am so desperate for spring but March can be so cruel.
Your journal is great. I loved reading the 'dog stories' of your trip.
Enjoy the weekend,
Lisca

Maybe one day your grandchildren will read these journals and be inspired to make their own journey to Nova Scotia. All the best - David

Good morning I loved seeing your journal-hugs I am ready for March too-although we have been cold no snow or ice here this month.
