Loving books.....It's a Picture Book Day!

Being Lost
by Karla Kuskin

Being Lost

Is the perfect way


To pass the time


On a sky blue day



When it is warm

And the open window
Uncurtains a call
Spiraling up the stairway
Hovering in the hall.
No one comes then
When they call me.
I am not there
Where they look.
I linger alone
In a place of my own
Lost
In a book.
********

This is the first poem to be found in a new find:


GOOD BOOKS, GOOD TIMES!
selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins

If you loooove books, you will adore these poems about books and reading!

Another great poem, describing my life with books....well, only till the beard part!



BOOKS TO THE CEILING
by Arnold Lobel
Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

Happy reading, my friends!

Lenten Blessings!

I am off to Rivendell......yet again!

I am finally doing it.......I am finally using the treadmill again.

I thought I would get started in January.

March is almost Januaury, right? ;)


And, when the snow melts AND it warms up......I will walk outside with the girls.

I have taken my WALK TO RIVENDELL pedometer back down to ZERO.

Well, I took it back to zero and added this week's miles.

Anyone joining me? Willa?

Please pray for persistence...consistency.....cheerfulness......results. :)

Love,

Chari

Blog Post about Big Families.......

............can be found here.

What do you think?

Has he got it nailed?

Any other ideas that you can add?

Which one of your favorite?

I found myself chuckling in public while reading this....because I could see it being played out in my own family.

I would never trade my small large family for anything! :)

Lenten Blessings!
