Mugs by Boynton

My collection of mugs with art by Sandra Boynton that I bought between 1979-1983

I gave this to Henry one Christmas before we got married. It's seahorses with a land horse "swimming" and it says "For Someone Special"

This caption says  Never Say Diet and has a hippo in the kitchen cooking 

This is my favorite..a cat that says "I'm not plump.  I'm fluffy" 

This has several hippos dressed in tutus captioned "Dance of the Sugarplum fairies" 

 

A Christmas mug with music and each animal saying "Wee fish ewe a mare e grets moose panda hippo gnu deer 

A new version of the above seahorses but it says "You're one of a kind"

There were several huge fields of cosmos flowers in late October/November 

Many of the ponds, small lakes in the area have dried up for lack of rain.  These cranes and egrets were in abundance walking around the bottom of the pond
