Thanksgiving


Ragdoll"s friend was overjoyed and surprised (plus relieved) when Ragdoll prepared a scrumptious feast of specially roasted acorns.

"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving" Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm just grateful for a holiday that is at least relatively noncommercial.

Clear


It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold.

Smoke



Ragdoll lived way way out in the country. She was down to earth and grew all her own food and loved to bake her own bread.

"The falling leaves drift by my window, the autumn leaves of red and gold." My dad used to sing us that song - so bittersweet.

Farm


My youngest son used to be obsessed with scarecrows. He was always asking me to draw him pictures of scarecrows. So this goofy little guy is dedicated to him.

Play




The right to play is every child's perogative. Play is a vital and intrinsic part of young children's intellectual, social and emotional development. Yet the powers that be seem to be conspiring to eliminate all freeplay time from a child's day. Structuring every moment of a child's day with one-dimensional rote memorization tasks while neglecting play and those activities which require generation of ideas and use of imagination results in diminished learning. So go play.
