Mars vs. Venus

We have all heard
“Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus”.



I think it starts early, look at these foals, guess which one is the colt and which one is the filly.

Well, we have a case of Mars Vs. Venus going on in our house right now.

I hate to place blame but…

I think my Blogger Block is due to Mr. Mars, bless his little heart.
(I have learned from my southern friends that you can say anything about anybody if you just follow it by “bless his little heart”:)

Let me set the stage:

We live in Northern Michigan where Spring takes it sweet time showing up, the snow is gone but the green is yet to return. Everything outside is bland.



So I tend to take a little artistic license embellishing the boring, it is kinda like coloring outside the lines.

Yesterday was a very interesting example. We were at our farm and I took pictures of the new foals taking their morning nap. Very cute yes but…they are lying in dirt with a pile or two of manure scattered about so I take the image of the cute lady like filly and put her in a happy wonderland.



I am very excited to show Mr. Mars and when I do he says “I don’t like that AT ALL”. I am crushed I asked “why” response “because you can’t do that”.

“WHAT ???????????”

Hmmmm now I must add this is a man who treats me like a queen.
I never want for anything be it affection or adventure but this has confirmed he is from Mars.

Then I reflect on the last couple of weeks and laugh because I see that my “coloring outside the lines” hasn’t had much exposure to anyone other than Mr. Mars. This brings me to another issue about living in Northern Michigan is that most everyone leaves during the winter months so my crafting partners in crime, my crafting therapists are gone until May.

Here is a recap of the Mars Vs. Venus adventure the last couple of weeks:

THE CAKES



Venus-"Look I am making mosaic cakes."
Mars-"Why? You can’t eat them."

THE EASTER EGGS



Venus-"Look what I did with plastic eggs!"
Mars-"What do you do with them?"

MY STUDIO




-

Venus-"Look at my new garland and the bling I added to my teacups!"

Mars-"Why does it have lights on it? It isn’t Christmas time."

THE FOAL PICTURES

Then yesterday I” fooled around” with the horse pictures which pretty much pushed Mr. Mars over the edge which in turn had me doubting my endeavors. Well Mr. Mars...

I plan to keep on fooling around with the pictures to hold me over until my support group AND spring returns,  bless your little heart.

WHEW! I feel much better getting that off my chest and I would like to extend a little peace offering.

A picture straight out of the camera:)

Girl power to all those crafters from Venus!

Enjoy!
