From the notebook....

I lifted my pencil in an attempt to draw,
But scribbles were the only things I saw.
A dark circle where a car should be;
A large square in place of me....

A purple splot on the church steeple,
Several big ants instead of people.
I had the result of a "work of art,"
But, honestly, it came not from my heart.

Bread?

I decided to make some applesauce bread yesterday. I pulled it out of the oven. It both looked and smelt yummy. I turned the pan upside down and shook it gently, so that the bread would come out, a nice and neat looking loaf, on the counter. What happened?
The inside fell with plop on the counter, leaving only the shell still in the pan. The shell I had to gently free from the pan with a knife. As you can see it now sits on a plate.
And this is the bread that fell out of the pan with a plop. I think either something went wrong with the bread, or I didn't use enough oil with which to grease the pan.....

Oh, look! What's this?

The writer of Sowers Corner told me in a comment that she thought I had earned this award. I honestly don't see how full I am of integrity, as I hardly write any thing that makes sense. :) I feel quite honored to have this privilege.
I was told to pass this award on to five people, so I thus chose:

1. Laura's Area by Laura She is posting quite regularly and with integrity on her blog.
2. Corantolavolta (I hope I spelled it right) by Kirk and Jo. They are posting great book reviews full of integrity.
3. The Young Thinker (with a blog named like that, I don't have to explain why I chose Kirk).

Unfortunately, that is all I can think of right now.
All of these blogs you can find on my sidebar..... I don't have the patience to type out all the link attachments to those names, so if you truly wish to know what they are like, please scroll down a little bit. It will cost you only a second, and save me an hour. :)
