Special Days 2021

I thought I'd revisit my Special Days series that I started way back in 2013, and give some of my other dolls some camera time.
​

Read a Road Map

In addition to being Easter this year, April 4th is also National Read a Roadmap Day.
Definitely good for when one is lost....and doesn't have GPS....
Picture
"I'm pretty sure it's that way..."
Picture
Picture
"I have another map, if you need it..."
Picture
"No..... thanks. I'm pretty sure it's just a little further ahead..."
Picture

Tartan Day

April 6th is National Tartan Day, and Aeran was at the fabric shop looking at their tartans....
Picture
"I really like this one..."
Picture
Aeran had brought Bonnie with her.....
Picture
"This one looks familiar..."
Picture

Bird Day

April 8th, is International Bird Day.  
​It was a lovely spring day, and several of the girls were out filling the bird feeder and enjoying the birds....

More Birds

Another set of pictures for International Bird Day....
​Nami & Judith were playing with their parakeets...
Picture
The birds were nice and tame, and would sit on their fingers - and not fly away....

the Raptors

Not all birds eat seeds, berries, or bugs, and with it being International Bird Day, the boys were only too happy to be allowed to feed the Falconry raptors....
Picture
The snowy owls already had their lunch....
Picture
...as did the eagle....
Picture
But that didn't stop them from eyeing the rat being offered to the other owl....
Picture
"Here you go. This one's for you..."
Picture
The two older boys thought it was fascinating....
Picture
....but Ringo was a little grossed out....

Painting Parakeets

Not only is it International Bird Day on April 6th, but it is also Draw a Bird Day.  
​Nami and Judith were playing with their budgies....
Picture
Their new cousin Bonnie was over, and she was an artist, and wanted to do a painting of the birds
Picture
..while Nami and Judith posed with them...

"I'm almost done."

A Big Wind

April 12th, is 'Big Wind Day', and even though it was raining....
Picture
....it was way too windy for an umbrella...
Picture
Picture

Marbles Day

April 14th is 'World Marbles Day'....
Picture
"Look at this one..."

Husband Appreciation

Smuzhka Raccoon was just relaxing reading a book...
Picture
It was April 15th, 'Husband Appreciation Day', and Ginger wanted to show him some love....
​"Would you like a foot stool?"
Picture
...and she took his jacket to hang up in the closet....
Picture
"I brought a nice soft pillow for your feet...."
Picture
"Some slippers to keep your feet warm?"
Picture
Smuzhka just wanted to get back to his book...
Picture
"I baked you some pie. It's still warm from the oven..."
Picture
Ginger grabbed her basket and put on her shawl....
Picture
"I'm going to the store, and will be back in a little while..."
Picture
'Finally, I can finish my book without any more interruptions', thought Smuzhka.
Picture

McDonald's Day

April 15th, is the anniversary of the opening of the very first McDonald's, in Des Plaines, Illinois, way back in 1955.  So Chloe and Effie thought they'd go treat themselves for dinner.....
Picture
"There's park over there, where we can go eat our dinner..."
Picture
So they sat down on a park bench....and Chloe unpacked her bag....
Picture
Picture
"I love these burgers..."
Picture
"Me too, but my favourite is their fries..."
Picture

Pet Owners Day

April 18th, is 'Pet Owner's Day', so a bunch of my little pet owners got together - along with their pets....

Bicycle Day

April 19th was National Bicycle Day, so Owen and Leona took their kids out for a bike ride in the country...
Picture
Everyone was a bit stiff and out of shape, so it was a bit of a struggle at first...
