Horses in the Spring

a little poem about sparrows

Little sparrows take over two trees,
Keepers of the yard.
Intelligent perchers,
Seeing all, feeling all.
When do they decide to fly?

surprising Grandma with cardboard Christmas cut-outs

My mom was on a trip and before it got too cold or snowy my kids, on the left, and my sister and I decided to tie up these Christmas wooden cut-outs. My Mom always thinks this kind of thing is neat. I think she likes the idea of all of us taking the time out to surprise her. My sister is in the second shot, but Ally poked her head in just in the nic of time.

My Sister Saves Everything

So I walk into my sister's kitchen and these three are there with these old outdated sunglasses on. My sister, Kim, on the left, saved every pair of sunglasses that ever came her way or anyone elses way, for the past 30 years. I love the pair she has on and the one on my daughter, Ally, completely covers her face. My son, Matthew picked ones from the 70's.

I don't know...I'm so different than her. I lose every pair of sunglasses that cross my path. Oh, I also sit on a lot of them. Most sunglasses of mine have a life expectancy of about 2-3 days. Once I lost a pair within an hour.

My sister would say, "I'm not surprised."

Before Fall

if...

If I were mayor, I'd invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I'd let the elderly in residential homes wander free.
