Jenny White and Johnny Black

Went out for a walk.

Jenny found wild strawberries,

And John a lump of chalk.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Clambered up a hill.

Jenny heard a willow-wren

And John a workman’s drill.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Wandered by the dyke.

Jenny smelt the meadow-sweet,

And John a motor-bike.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Turned into a lane.

Jenny saw the moon by day

And Johnny saw a train.

Jenny White and Johnny Black

Walked into a storm.

Each felt for the other’s hand

And found it nice and warm.

I adore this poem.  

It was introduced to my by a rockstar of a former student affectionately named, KatieKaboom.

I hope you like it too.  

Hugs and Love!!!

Random Deliciousness

I feel like the richest person in the world when I am leaving the library with my arms full of books (just happened a few moments ago... cha-ching!) and whenever I drop off my recycling.  


The noticeably cooler weather makes me want to bust out my boots and sweaters.  Totally inappropriate, yes; however, the fact that we're done with triple digit heat makes me want to celebrate with my winter clothes... soon and very soon, this wardrobe dream will become a reality! 


I am surrounded by and get to do life with really incredibly awesome peeps.  My friends and family rock!


I still dream about changing the world and try my best to do so.  I typically start with my corner and work outwards from there...


Where I live, there are no clouds in the sky today.  Just brilliantly beautiful shades of blue.


Fun and peaceful holidays full of laughter and love with people you love (and people who love you) are invaluable.
