Go Fly a Kite!

Son walks in and exclaims that he is bored and Mom replies unsarcastically, "Go fly a kite."  Son whines that he doesn't feel like doing that, but after having suggested it, Mom realizes that it is a fantastic idea and decides to go out. It is after all a much needed photographic opportunity. Before Mom has the camera ready, the boy has his kite on the front lawn and much fun is had over the next hour so. For a time, boredom has been overcome.

    Nice to see an activity that doesn't get much use anymore, it seems!

    I love flying kites and it looks like you have the perfect yard for that...no wires or trees in the way! We have so many pine trees that the wind gets blocked so if the field across the road is not planted we go there. Fun way to spend the day!

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
