If it looks like things have been a bit wonky here… well they have. The website, the blog have had a complete overhaul.

Now it’s all matchy like a new box of stationery. Check it out!
Some folks taste it daintily,
Others gulp it down quick-ily.
Some lick around and around,
So it never, ever comes dripping down. Some shove the ice cream
Down with their tongue,
So at the bottom of the cone,
You’re left with some.
But some lick in just one place
So it gets sort of sloppy,
And the top plops off
In a great big bloppy!
“The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings”
There’s a popular myth about alligators living in the sewage systems of New York City. Rumors about alligators coming out of sewers and the police going underground to hunt them down still exist today.
However,
Scientists are quite sure that a sewer is not a fit environment for any alligator and they would be unlikely to ever reproduce.
It’s a rumor….. but don’t tell smiling Jack!
Quite the dapper fellow.
Happy Gnu Year!!
When the Tomie dePaola Award contest was first announced. I was very excited and filled with ideas. The prompt choices were Tom Sawyer, Little Women and The Yearling.
My first go at it was this one for The Yearling. While I liked working on this, Tomie’s words kept ringing in my ear, “I want to see an image, a style, a vision that I’ve never seen before – all in glorious black and white!”
Hmmm… I will add this to my portfolio but I had another idea. So I ended up submitting the one below. This is my take. I love little furry creatures.
