Change



"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.

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.
