LIONS ON THE LOOSE

Yellow sunspots in the yard,
Like a green sky brightly starred.
After time they close up tight;
Open up as balls of white.
A gust of wind will send them flyin',
That's the escape of a dandelion.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!

I love poetry and these entries were a lot of fun. It was really a tough job judging.

My Girl

I don't have a lot of photos with my daughter because she's the shy one in the family. She's not like the rest of us who primp a pose whenever the camera comes out. She runs and hides - most of the time. Plus, she plays college basketball so she's not sitting at home with the rest of us. During the year she travels with the team and seems to be playing that game nearly 7 days a week.

BUT, here's one photo of us together. And, looking at it, I wonder why do I always stand next to beautiful young ladies and let people take my picture? Call me crazy. . .

Strawberry Avalanche - Saturday

Hope you enjoy this avalanche of strawberries!

Earth-Friendly Friday

Sometimes the answers to reusing are right around your own house. A single teacup for instance. It can be turned into a watering cup for birds, when it's placed out in the yard. Or a bird feeder, if you fill it with seed.

We just need to think outside the box--um, cup, or whatever the object might be. My husband took one cup that was left out of a set and with the help of a little epoxy-WAHLAH-garden art!

I also use old broken pots in my yard to liven up my garden. Who's to say what's art? I guess in my yard at least, that person will be me ;)

So, do you have any clever RE-uses sitting around that you'd like to share? Please add them to the "comments" section and thanks!
