    This is a beautiful post and much needed :) The images are relaxing and peaceful, I wish I was out in the country having a picnic and enjoying the sunshine!! Wonderful! My new baby's eyes are blue at the moment, my older daughter has brown eyes! One with my eye colour and the other with my husband's eye colour :) Wish you a perfect evening!! xx

    Good morning beautiful friend! I came by I don't know HOW MANY TIMES yesterday for I saw on my blog list that you had a new post, but when I came here, it would not show up for me....therefore I took off to start my clerical day in my classroom. I did some final data entry and took care of other duties only to be frustrated and stressed. Then my writing meeting was a bit discouraging...there was some snobbery about BLOGGING...but I realized that the person who was giving off that air actually is having trouble writing at the moment, and when I realized that I AM WRITING daily and ENJOYING it, I realized that I have to sift out the negative attitudes that do not accompany constructive criticism. SO much to learn, but I have to take one step at time! LOVELY PICTURES AND I AM READY FOR SUMMER!!! Anita

    Good afternoon dearest Martina! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING BY TODAY...tomorrow is the last day of these conferences for teachers. I feel asleep today during the lecture!!! And life is good...I am ready a lot about poetry and I think I am on the right track; my mission is to communicate CLEARLY to my audience and there is not substitute for reading and just WRITING CONSTANTLY!!! So I am just going to try to overcome unhappy peoples' destructive criticism about BLOGS and just keep on going! THANK YOU!!! Anita
