Lazy Summer Days

Yellow says to pink:
"you're a fizzy, happy drink."
Pink smiles at yellow:
"you're a cheery kind of fellow."

I'm taking a little summer break

to be lazy as well.

The Clever Lion

There once was a lion

who enjoyed a nice rose,

and was usually careful 

to protect his nose.

One day, near the bush,

he gave a big yawn

and felt on his nose

the prick of a thorn.

He pulled the thorn out

and smiled, as he should -

and said that in life

you get the bad with the good.

On a Sunny Day

I woke up suddenly

in the middle of the night,

I heard some noises

and they gave me a fright.

I drew up the blanket

and buried my head,

and I'm never ever looking

under the bed.

and two adorable nephews.

The Brave New Year

The brave new year

came through the door

and asked us all

if we'd like to do more.

We searched our souls,

went deep and wide -

to the hopes that we hold

the dreams that we hide.

The 'same old' is always

a bit of a bore,

there is no doubt about it -

we'd love to do more!

"Let's all take a chance!"

said the brave new year,

"everything is possible

now that I'm here."

Featured: I joined a pile

of old scarves into a

winter blanket.

The Sky is Blue

Where the grass is green

and the flowers are shy,

you can lie on your blanket

and look at the sky.

Yes, let's go on a picnic,
it will be so much fun,
with mosquitoes and bees
and the burning sun.

Featured: my new picnic blanket,

two adorable nephews

and cake. You have to have cake.

My New Blanket

A little girl

was taking a break,

preparing to enjoy

a nice piece of cake.

A squirrel jumped on her

giving her a fright,

he was really hoping

to get a small bite.

A bird flying by

was horrified by this,

but the squirrel didn't care

and blew her a kiss.

The oak tree sighed:

"well, he is young",

and the naughty squirrel

stuck out his tongue.

Other animals arrived

drawn by the chatter,

 all wanting to know

what was the matter.

Some had an opinion, 

some had a laugh,

when the little girl

finally had enough:

"You are all lovely,

but for heaven's sake

let me have a moment

to enjoy my piece of cake"!

unfinished crochet projects

into one big blanket.

Let Her Have Cake

A little girl

was taking a break,

preparing to enjoy

a nice piece of cake.

A squirrel jumped on her

giving her a fright,

he was actually hoping

to get a small bite.

A bird flying by

was horrified by this,

but the squirrel didn't care

and blew her a kiss.

The oak tree sighed:

"well, he is young",

and the naughty squirrel

stuck out his tongue.

A yellow butterfly

who was always so kind,

sided with the squirrel

if the girl didn't mind.

Other animals arrived

drawn by the chatter,

and all wanted to know

what was the matter.

Some had an opinion, 

some had a laugh,

when the little girl

finally had enough:

"You are all lovely,

but for heaven's sake

let me have a moment

to enjoy my piece of cake"!

My lovely niece Dana

is the first to use it.

A World of Candy

Wouldn't' it be dandy

if the world was made of candy?

and everyone you meet

would just be nice and sweet?

I'd live in this world

with my teddy and doll,

and my good friend the dentist

will take care of us all.

♡

Featured: we are celebrating

the holiday of Purim today.

This holiday is rich in tradition

and one of the most important customs

is to give and receive a lot of candy.

We made these candy containers out of disposable cups.

It Might As Well Be Spring

It is a cold and rainy today

but in my mind it is spring and I am having

a picnic in a green meadow.

On my new picnic blanket.

Butterflies and games and finger sandwiches.

You are all invited.

gigantic picnic blanket.

It will be some time until it is done

but my nephew Noam is already enjoying it.
