"Start with a mouthful of sentence"

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Some of you know that I'm a poet. I love poetry; I love reading poems by my favorite poets, and I love hearing poets read their work, which I think often adds so much to the meaning of the poem. However, even I have to laugh at this hilarious video from Fishbowl Improv, which pokes fun at the way some poets read. Enjoy!



Wishing you all a Tuesday filled with smiles. ☺

Aw...

Happy Monday, friends. ☺

Today I'm linking up with Awww...Mondays, a meme in which bloggers post the things that make them say aw. You can find out more here.

This adorable puppy definitely earns an aw rating from me today. I hope he helps get your week off to a good start, too. Enjoy!



Wishing you all a beautiful Monday. ☺

Something fun for the dads and those who love them

Wishing you all a fantastic Sunday. ☺

Six-word Saturday

Where did the school year go?

My son has only three more days of kindergarten before school is over. I can't believe I'll be the mother of a first-grader soon! And my baby will be a preschooler next fall. Where did the school year go? Where did the TIME go?

It goes way too fast.

I can't help but feel the way country music singer Billy Dean does in this song:

Wishing you all a Saturday filled with beautiful memories. ☺

 

Friday fun

Happy Friday, friends.

I'm exhausted! Yesterday I spent about fifteen hours burning DVDs from our camcorder. I finally fell into bed around two a.m., and then I was back up at five to wash a shirt my son needed for his Flag Day presentation at school today. Bedtime can't come soon enough!

I hope you enjoy this week's dose of fun. Wishing us all a relaxing (and restful) weekend. ☺

Something I love

Happy Wednesday, friends!

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I'm a huge fan of poet/singer/songwriter Tanya Davis and filmmaker/artist/animator Andrea Dorfman. I've done several posts featuring their work. (You can find them here, here, and here.)

As individuals, Davis and Dorfman are very talented, but when they work together to create a piece, they're phenomenal! Today I want to share one of their collaborations—a video animation that Dorfman created for Davis' song "The Drums." The song has a catchy beat and a wonderful message, and Dorfman's animations complement them both very well. Enjoy!


Lyrics here.

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday. ☺

Our World Tuesday

Today is Tuesday, so that means it's time once again for Our World Tuesday, a weekly meme that encourages bloggers to share images of their world. It's a great way to get a glimpse of life through the eyes of others! You can find out more about it here. Even if you don't participate, I encourage you to take a look at the intriguing photos that bloggers from around the world share each week.

My kids noticed this flower at our neighbor's house yesterday morning, and I just had to take a photo. I'm not sure what kind of plant this is, but it's a gorgeous color, and it definitely brightens up the gray days we've been having around here lately. I hope it brings a touch of brightness to your world, as well!

 

 

Wishing you all a beautiful Tuesday. ☺
