dinosaur.
the kinder team in action on the big dig,
in search of dinosaur bones.
some do the labor,
some supervise.
their dino artifacts go on display
for all to enjoy
in the playground museum.

the dinosaur’s eloquent lesson is that if some bigness is good,
an overabundance of bigness is not necessarily better.

people who don’t take risks
generally make about two big mistakes a year.

welcome to my fairy garden, one and all.
nothing i love better
than to see
children, adults, pets, families
in
wagons
strollers
on foot
on bicycles
walking
running
skipping
being carried.
stopping by
to pay a visit
to the fairy garden
in all four seasons.
chatting
playing
smiling
bringing gifts
acting out stories
taking tokens
noting changes
moving things
telling secrets
making memories
leaving special things behind.
spending a little quiet time
with the fairies
before they head
back into life
in a
busy grown-up world.

child of the pure, unclouded brow
and dreaming eyes of wonder!
though time be fleet and I and thou
are half a life asunder,
thy loving smile will surely hail
the love-gift of a fairy tale.

what we play is life. – louis armstrong
christmas play
green grass
crinkly fall leaves
swirling pajamas
purple boots
golden ballet slippers
daffodil crown
clear sky above
bright eyes
and
not a snowflake to be found.

magic.
j proclaimed,
‘i’m going to swing into magic land.’
we’d been waiting forever
for a chance to play outside in the rain together
there was a fence
branch was weak
chair was shaky
toes were tippy
b created a magic rain slide
“let’s make it soapy”
it was so slippy-flippy
there were great leaps and a great slides
making for
a great afternoon
we got very wet
fell down
slid on the grass
crashed into stuff
got pretty muddy
laughed so hard
best of all
none of us were injured
and it was pure magic.
roald dahl would understand completely.

double decker bus.
i find there is something very intimate about being
the voice in someone’s ear when they’re driving.
