Under Monets Tree

Under Monet's Tree

Sitting with the ducks under

Monet's weeping willow tree,

over to the left a batch

of seniors try tai chi.

Then a flock of nine strong geese

floating to the right,

my resting spot at Manito

today brings such delight.

The ducks seem to accept my chair,

they wander back near me.

We sit and watch the breeze weave through,

Monet's lacy willow tree.

A grown man comes running up

to scare the geese to flight,

my ducks and I just take a peek

and snicker at the sight.

We settle back into the breeze,

the quiet of the day,

the overwhelming peacefulness

makes it natural to pray.

So when you have a hectic life,

with stress swirling about,

a spot like this will clear your head,

of that I have no doubt.

new stupid creatures

You know, making these stupid creatures is such fun. There is no right or wrong way to make them, and when have a big "uh oh" really they just become more creative. Had fun making these the other day with my Sarah Moe.

Welcome!

Ink, Paint, and Cloth really is a better description of what this little spot is all about, don't you think?  Wonderful to have you here! Please follow me if you would like to. At this point I feel like a one person parade.  thanks friends, jill

Stay home and sneeze!

Guess I never posted my work poem. Wow, two in one day!


Stay Home and Sneeze

If you’re stuffy and sick
With a terrible disease
I am here to help
Stay home and sneeze.

If you need a day off
Just give me a call
Grab your keys and a friend
And go shop at the mall.

If your car won’t start
Or you run out of gas
I can work for you
This too shall pass.

If your friends call and say
“It’s a beautiful day”
I can come in to work
You go out and play.

So I wrote this little poem-
A goofy way to say
I will work for you
If the managers say “OK”

Silver Quarter

Have you found a silver quarter

among the quarters in your stash?

When you grab it very quickly

and just think it's small change cash.

Did you dump it on the table

hear a clink among the clank?

I found two within a week

I have only God to thank.

Now it's nothing very special.

It's just a little treat.

but It's like a little treasure

that you find beneath your feet.

Now James my friend, he looked it up

and found they're somewhat rare

especially when their is a "D"

I can't see it, but it's there.

So now I'm a collector,

 of the clink among the clank.

I will have a special jar

that will be my clinky bank.

Would love to have you come!

Good morning. I just realized there are no rugs on my blog. Now what is a blog without rugs I ask? Nothing but cold feet.  So here are a couple hooked rugs that I had a great time making.
