The lovely Mara Eastern nominated me to participate in the Spread Love Challenge, and since I love love, this sounded like loads of fun. 🙂
Ze rules:
1. Write ten four-word sentences about what love means to you.
2. Share your favorite quote on love.
3. Nominate ten other bloggers to do the same.
How do I feel about love? Well, I just told you above, but here are ten )rather longer than four words but hopefully delightfully illustrative) sentences on what love means to me:
We had a tiny handyman at our house this weekend:
Here he is trying to fix a picture before hanging it on the living room wall. He also fixed our steps. He’s quite the handy little Cricket.
Do your kids ever fix up your house like this? What do they do?

I captured this stunner of a sunset on my way to pick Bubbles up from church the other night.
If I hadn’t had to pick him up, I could’ve happily sat on the side of the road photographing the sky till the sun went down. I know I’ve said it before (about a million times, probably), but I love our sunsets here.
What do you love about where you live?

It was another foggy morning yesterday:
And this is the good fog – about a mile north of our house, I drove into a foggy wall, and I didn’t come out of it till I got to work. I actually drove past the county line without realizing it till five miles later when suddenly the road curved to the right. It was crazy.
I wish I could have stayed home and enjoyed the fog through the window, pencil and paper in hand. What do you think of the fog?

I’m pleased, excited, and every other happy word you can think of to announce that my new poetry book, A Song for All Seasons, is now available! You can find it on Smashwords, Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Createspace, and more!
I’m also stoked to announce that the print copy of Tuesday Daydreams is now available at a new lower price. Both the e-book and print copies now have a shiny new cover, and you can find them wherever fine books are sold (read: all the above)!
Aren’t Fridays just the best? 🙂

Cricket is the family comedian. He says such funny things, but he’s funniest when he’s being completely serious.
We’ve been enjoying the Music and Lyrics soundtrack in the car lately. The boys always ask me the name of each song as it comes on, and sometimes they ask me another half dozen times throughout the course of the song. Last night Cricket really wanted to hear the song “Tony the Beat,” but “A Different Sound” was playing, so he asked me which song was next:
Me: “Love Autopsy.”
Cricket: “What song is after that?”
M: “PoP! Goes My Heart.”
C: “And after that?”
M: “Buddha’s Delight.”
C: “And after that?”
M: “Meaningless Kiss.”
C: “And after that?”
M: “Entering Bootytown.”
C: “And after that?”
M: “Way Back Into Love.”
At this point, I fully expected him to ask what came after that (again), and since “Tony the Beat” was the next song, I thought maybe that would put an end to the questions (for a few minutes, anyway). Instead, this happened:
C: *thinks for a minute*
C: “Entering Bootytown is the way back into love?”
M: *facepalm of epic proportions*
I told Seymour about it when we got home. He’d had a long day of running errands, and this put a big ol’ smile on his face. His response? “From the mouths of babes…”
Kids. 🙂

This picture isn’t quite as old as some of the others I’ve been posting, but after reading this comment on my scouting throwback post, I decided a post with Miss A. was in order. 🙂
This one is from the summer of 2008, when Miss A. came back for a visit. I don’t remember why, just that we had a great time seeing each other, as we always do. It doesn’t matter how far apart we are, we’ll always be the best of friends. 🙂
Don’t forget to check out Charnele’s Photo Friday post! 🙂

Are these not the coolest things ever?
Seymour came home with some a week or so ago and when he showed them to me, I said he should have gotten a set to keep and a set to use. He slid the book back in his hand to reveal a second book of stamps and replied, “Now what makes you think I’d do something like that?”
I love him so very, very much. 😀
A good decade ago (I refuse to admit that it’s been closer to two than one) when the post office issued Looney Tunes stamps, I had a whole set. Unlike these, where each stamp is different, they released one character at a time. It took a while to collect them all, but I love those stamps just as much as I love these.
And yes, I bought myself a set to use and a set to keep. 🙂
What are your favorite stamp designs?

Wasn’t it just gorgeous yesterday? The springy beauty started early and lasted all day. I had to go out yesterday afternoon, and happened to catch this:
Flags fluttering in a light spring breeze, a vivid blue sky without a single cloud, the sun shining down – how can you beat that? Makes a girl feel glad to be alive. 🙂

This morning I was treated to a beautifully foggy sunrise:
That’s the town a couple miles from my house. Despite the fog, you can see pretty much the whole town in this picture.
I love how well this turned out! Foggy mornings are just so inspiring. 🙂

Suddenly they all died. The end.
