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.

Clean
Felt like adding this bonus image at the last minute.
Jack's mother slaved away just to keep their humble little cottage clean. And was Jack grateful?

Jungle
I have just returned from the jungle (cloud forest to be exact) and my mind is still reverberating from all the spectacularly gorgeous sights. I had some trepidations about visiting Costa Rica in June anticipating heat but the cloud forest is cool and moist. What a thrill to see monkeys in the treetops and tons of hummingbirds.

Cake
Trust everyone will have a fun and safe holiday weekend. I'll be going to Costa Rica to visit my daughter who is teaching English there.

The Devil
A lttle addendum here to my last post concerning the devil. I believe there to be a devil but I believe obssession with devils or even angels for that matter is wrongheaded. I think the focus should rather be on God and we needn't obsess about the other stuff because if you are a Christian "greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world" He being the Holy Spirit. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks for bearing with me.

Angels and Devils
When I was a little kid living in Indiana there was this bump on the sidewalk where the concrete was all crumbled. Some kid told a friend and I this was because the devil was coming out from under the ground. At first we were very excited-Yah,let's see the devil- and tore into the sidewalk grabbing chunks and pounding to see if we could break it up more. Then we got really really scared and proceeded to reassemble the shattered pieces. Who knows if a couple of intrepid 4 year olds had not averted a major satanic eruption. So if you happen to be casually strolling down the sidewalk and you see a bump and it's all sort of crumbly like. You know what's going on.

Fat
My grandma is 98 years old and eats ice cream every day. She says the doctor told her that at 98 she can eat anything she wants.
