A Little Bit of Nature

 

So many of us have truly connected with nature during this pandemic, now it's time to celebrate that with our Nature Challenge over at Cut It Up!  

I have even been inspired to stop and listen to birds, watch bunnies run in the paddocks, look at different wild flowers (weeds most likely), and make an attempt at planting!  We'll see how that works since my thumb is far from green! 

I've decided to "bloom and grow" with some new ideas outside the house and barn windows.  

So, how are you inspired by this challenge?  Come share your ideas with us at Cut It Up!
