Hi Everyone! Yesterday I bought some of those "toning" shoes for walking. Bill said, "You are going to fall." Ha ha ha! I hope he's wrong! Anyway, I grabbed my iPod, my phone, and my camera and ventured out into the neighborhood. Guess who I met? Ginger. Her frustrated owner said, "Oh, she's looking for a new home." She didn't mean it but Ginger is evidently "high maintenance" and keeps her busy human friend even more busy! There isn't much to take pictures of this winter. The weather is supposed to turn VERY cold and just now the icebergs in the lawn are almost gone. Oh well. I remain ever hopeful for SNOW DAYS.
Funny Face. Isn't she darling?
Licking her lips!
Nice to meet ya! See ya!
So many twigs! Can you think of something I could make out of twigs?
This morning I read from The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle. Good stuff. I popped over to Sharon Lovejoy's blog and discovered two authors I hadn't heard of. Delight! I ordered a few of their works FREE for my Kindle. Well, a few books cost a dollar or two. Sharon's post about a lighthouse was a sweet little "good morning" and now I miss the sea. Oh well. Off to school. Guess what our unit question is? What does LOVE have to do with LIFE? We are going to read Romeo and Juliet (honors) and West Side Story (regular) and I can't wait to guide them in our exploration of family love, community love, altruistic love, romantic love, FRIENDSHIP. Which reminds me . . . thank you for YOUR friendship. Bye bye January! HELLO LOVE month!

I love Ginger, hope you meet her again - she is my kind of dog, probably a highly strung yappy dog! Amber would approve (same colouring you see). I have been scribbling and even painting in the margins of my book today, just like you do! What to do with twigs? well some of those beautiful crosses from your book of home made crosses, maybe? I like trees, leaves and twigs more than flowers you know. Have fun at school today.
I would love to come sit in on your class. You are a blessing, Pom Pom!
Hugs from Texas,

Hi Pom! I'm with Leslie. I want to sit in on your class too -- bet I'd learn a lot!
Blessings,

Ooh I love wintry twigs. You could make a twiggy wreath.
I am up earlier than usual today (3:00 a.m.) as a huge wind storm just blew in, so loud it woke me up. We have chimes in our front yard and they are going mad right now, having a conversation with the wind. I hope you get a Snow Day, I can remember hoping and hoping for one. A Snow Day is like a free day, an extra day all to oneself. I don't know if we'll get a snow this year in Austin, but sometimes our coldest weather comes in February. I love those photos of the twigs. I love Kerri's idea of the wreath. xo Kari
There is an amazing North Carolina named Patrick Doughterty who makes art out of sticks, twigs, branches ... it's amazingly beautiful. Here's a link:

Enjoy! Hope you get a snow day!

I can't wait for West Side Story. And I am so excited for Love Month. It is my absolute favorite month of the year. Love and Black history month, it's just great. Hope you enjoy your snow day!
Ginger's a cutie. Something to make with sticks....yes, I saw something at the art museum.
Hello Love Month and sending my love to you, Pommy!
