Library Gems #2

More wonderful book from the good ol' library:

Extra Yarn by Mac Burnett (LOVED this artwork)

The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone by Timothy Basil Ering
   This was a fun book in the vein of Wall-E.  Again the artwork was just plain old terrific and I just love books that drip with imagination.

Minnie's Diner by Dayle Ann Dodds
    Not terribly well written or anything but I thought it was engaging and a great visual for the idea of doubling something.

Dear Mr. Blueberry by Simon James
     Loved the child perspective vs. the adult perspective

Night Knight by Owen Davey
     The perfect, short bedtime story.  And did anyone say ARTWORK!!!!!!  loved it

Bigfoot Cinderrella by Tony Johnston
     A really funny spin on the original.  I mostly added this to the list because it's the perfect fairy tale for boys, c'mon, what little man could resist a big, stinky, boat footed princess?

on the back porch

cool, delicious air called me out on the front porch this morning. I feel like I need to bottle it somehow, or absorb thick layer of cool into my skin so that come july I'll be able to tolerate the heat better.

Maybe I was just trying to run away and find a little peace but I don't think that the back porch was far enough away to find that, haha. I was "discovered" in minutes.

Well, it's all screams and squabbles in the background right now, mostly centering around easter candy.

well, I wanted to post this pics from the morning that make it look like all I do is sip coffee and search my soul. I wish that were the case over the sounds assaulting me from the other room right now.

But I do want to say that "Jesus Calling" has been wonderful. Like little sips of the Spirit that I've been able to fit into a chaotic morning such as this. I love her personal rendering of the Scriptures. Here's to peaceful mornings!
