Saturday Memorandums

 

 

This shadow on the bathroom wall caught my eye early this morning.

Love reading on cold days.

Spending time in the art room is also a favorite activity.

Home is a good place to be.

This week I tried the word game that's gaining popularity - Wordle. It's easy to get hooked(www.powerlanguage.co.uk). I look forward to the daily challenge. 

It's That Time Again

 Every November I enjoy filling a girl and a boy shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. I always wonder who will receive the boxes. 

The trees are turning golden. Love to witness this change every year.

Though a bit chilly in the mornings I put on a jacket and walk for exercise. The shadows remind me of that childhood poem "My Shadow" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

"The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow -

Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;

For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball,

And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all."

(Verse 2 of the poem)

Inside I've been moving things around. Soon there will be other changes as Christmas decorating gets underway after Thanksgiving.

Oh, one more thing. A little visitor was here today. Bliss! I was so busy talking, reading, and playing with her that I forgot to snap a quick picture. 

Catching Up

I flipped my calendar to this new month that truly sneaked up on me. April was here for such a short while or so it seemed.

Nicolas spent Friday with us, and his sweet disposition made it a joyful day. He explored my closet territory and found miniatures and markers.  

Friday and Saturday were delightful days of sunshine. Today rain, hail, and tornado warnings returned. However, I'm hoping for a calm and lovely May.

Pretend the shorebird shadows are you and me having a nice chat. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Oh, Spring!

Today's post requires few, if any, words.

Oh, what a lovely spring day!

Do you see the long-legged curvy miss
