a person without a sense of humor
is like a wagon without springs.
It’s jolted by every pebble on the road.

bats.
we met the bats
learned about
all the good they do
micro bats
mega bats
brown bats
fruit bats
how important they are
to our world
and
we will try
to do our part
to help
save the bats.

giant.
kinders size up the leaves
that are
like nothing they’ve seen before
much bigger than their heads
with a color
like shiny crayons
they must be
leftover
from the time of the dinosaurs.

the world is a giant puzzle that hasn’t been put together yet,
and were trying to
find the other piece of this puzzle that goes with us.

fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look. – carine roitfeld
they say
clothes don’t make the man
but
a fashion-forward rotweiller
on a gray, rainy day
strolling among the humans
to raise money
for
type 1 diabetes research
in her ballet-soft tutu
sure shows some
style and class.

age and size are only numbers.
it’s the attitude you bring to clothes
that makes the difference.

nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom. it is as true as sunbeams. – douglas william jerrold
we made a fancy house
with
windows open wide
thinned the field
planted beautiful flowers
collected favorite things
painted magic rocks
decorated sticks
sprinkled
treasures and sparkles
opened up a pumpkin patch
made the beds
welcomed
the curious bees
and
friendly butterflies
laid out a table
and invited them in.
the fairies
must have been watching
for they
moved into
their new little village
in the circle
right on our playground
and
we hope they’re here to stay.

if a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.
