During the Week of the Young Child a few weeks ago the children at our nearby Head Start Center put on their own parade; a Color Parade! Over the PA system in our offices the word went out that we should get up from our stuffy desks and greet these little treasures and cheer them … Continue reading Color Parade

Spring in Winter
I took this week's contribution to the Weekly Photo Challenge at the 21st Annual RI Flower and Garden Show on February 23rd. Spring was just a hope that day, now it's here in full swing!
40 Word Poem
Both the Weekly Photo Challenge (Letters) and yesterday's Daily Prompt (It's My Party) got me thinking about a gift I was given on my 40th birthday. When I turned the big 4-0, I was working as the director of an AmeriCorps program. One of my staff came up with a clever idea to have everyone … Continue reading 40 Word Poem
If I Had a Hammer; Oh Snap, I do!
If you could learn a trade — say carpentry, electrical work, roofing, landscaping, plumbing, flooring, drywall — you name it — what skill(s) would you love to have in your back pocket? Yesterday I posted for the Weekly Photo Challenge and didn't respond to the writing prompt, and since I'm not jazzed by today's prompt … Continue reading If I Had a Hammer; Oh Snap, I do!
On Top: Weekly Photo Challenge
After a long day of fun together, the kids put their Gary Eyes ON TOP of their heads! That was a good day two years ago. I miss them all the time!

Street Life: Weekly Photo Challenge
I was leaving one of the childcare centers on a particularly hot day last summer and saw this little bird. It hopped from the other side of the street after rolling around in the dirt to this cool puddle. I watched for about 10 minutes before the bird flew away. Grateful I took the time … Continue reading Street Life: Weekly Photo Challenge
Vermont Reflections
There are many days that I miss living in Vermont. The calm, quiet, clean feeling of the fresh air and uncluttered lifestyle. When I am most desperate to feel close to my Vermont "home" I take a look at pictures my friend "Bud" puts on his Facebook page. To participate in this week's Photo Challenge I'm sharing a … Continue reading Vermont Reflections
Cat Inside the Basket (Weekly Photo Challenge)
Most cats enjoy finding out-of-the-way places to tuck in and nap, especially in the sunshine! Our cat Bubba is no exception. One Saturday afternoon I found him in the magazine basket he'd knocked over in the bathroom--a favorite place for him especially on warm days. Enjoy! Inside other bloggers posts: Weekly Photo Challenge: I’m Inside … Continue reading Cat Inside the Basket (Weekly Photo Challenge)
It’s All How You See It
I've enjoyed the weekly photo challenges and this week's is no exception. It gives me a chance to go back to all the photos I've taken with my cell phone, and some of them aren't half bad! I live in the suburbs, but there is also a fair amount of wooded areas nearby so we … Continue reading It’s All How You See It
