Snow Birds....

this morning they came...

as soon as it was light....

they flew in silently...

at least,

for a while...

and then,

the crowd started to gather....

and they all had things to say.

They talked about the traffic...

the weather...

the kids...

the accomodations..

the relatives...

you name it,

it was spoken of...

and then they "broke bread"...

and scurried around the brunch buffet...

"Enjoy" said I....

Green thursday

Green thursday, originally uploaded by ellenmr.

Isn't it funny.....

how you can be in a rush to do one thing....

and something totally out of left field...

distracts you?

Mainemomma-Kristen started a fun group on Flickr 

a week long color exercise....

I loved the idea, and wanted to participate...

but this was a week filled with dozens of tasks

LARGE & small...

I had very little time for fun....

But Green Thursday rolled around,

and I was determined to get something posted.

So as I sat at my desk and thought....

what is interesting and green?

There is was right in front of me....

I love unique pencils....

I love jars, bottles, pitchers, containers of pencils.

So there you are....

Made my day that anyone else thought 

that this spur of the moment shot 

had merit.....

smiles.
