Puppy Dog Tails and...Greek.

I was looking through pictures this evening.

In home-schooling right now, we are studying Archimedes in science;

in history we are studying life in early Greece,

Cyrus and Ptolemy,

Greek Mythology,

Greek alphabet, coins, city-states, governments;

in art, early Greek sculpture and pottery...

It's rather...

umm...

 if I say interesting, will you believe me?

Actually, I am getting much more out of it this time around,

compared to when I was my daughter's age, but for some reason when I sit down at night to write,

here,

my brain feels like it has turned into the empty blank screen I see.

"Thoughts?

Hello....

 thoughts in this head anywhere?"
and that is how it goes.

The massive amount of Greek knowledge must be taking it's toll.

Besides that, I've had my fingers occupied with working on pieces for my new blog.

How I enjoy doing artwork again!

It isn't Greek to me. 

(Yes, okay, I'll stop with the Greek.)

I know gardening season is just around the next sunshiney day,

so I'm feverishly attacking my list of "MUST-get-done"'s,

like some baby blankets for the new babies breaking onto the scene by various friends and relatives.

 (I love making this kind because it uses up a lot of miscellaneous yarn at the end of skeins

and they don't look like the typical baby blanket. Not that the typical baby blanket isn't sweet and adorable).

 Speaking of spring, my littlest child seems to think that because the sun is shining and there isn't any snow on the ground, shoes and coats are now optional

and toes are to be dipped in freshly thawed waters...

despite the frigid degrees.

Is there a glue to keep socks on?

So as I clicked through my pictures for a bright idea to surface,

I came across these from last summer.

Some pictures don't need words,

and these,

 

well...

 

these were enough for me.

I hope they cheer your day, too.

If not, you could always stop by and listen in on some Greek.

No?
