60 words in 60 minutes Challenge!

Write 60 words in 60 seconds. Up to the challenge? I stumbled upon this Blogfest at Nahno McLein and had to try it. Really, you should try it too! It's a workout for your psyche. :)

It's shy.

My art is shy.

It lurks in the corners of a dusty brain...

Smiling to itself in that sly way.

Sometimes art takes a tumble to the other side

Just to see it's little shy friends.

They visit, compose...

And share those timid and colorful plans.

Then pop! And blurt!

Bursting out of the mind...

Art.

Great job and a neat idea. Not sure if I would get 60 words down or not, if I were to try a challenge like this.

Not bad for 60 seconds. I am a big bluter. I wish I could get my thoughts out on paper as elegantly as you just did. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear. Cyclist? Camper? They're here for us all. Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it? Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus. You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma. It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag. These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk ...

Sunshine and a Wasp Tale

Where is the sunshine? The other day it came out for almost the entire day and it was glorious! Did you see it at your house too? I miss the sunshine. Kind of like I miss that little girl in the scrapbook page (who is now 16!). Now that my kids are grown or almost grown I also miss those kid experiences. Playing outside with no real purpose, the sweet little voices, the unconditional hugs. When they were little, my kids loved to play in the yard and at the park. Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with the park and backyard swing sets . Many years ago we had one of those big sturdy wooden swing sets that had a fort look-out, swings and a slide. It was painted with a lovely dark green enamel paint and occupied its own sand lot on the side of the house. Unfortunately, the local wasps also thought the swing set was lovely. They built their little nests in every corner of that thing. One day my youngest was out in...
