Daylight savings time...

   I want to move to Arizona. Not only do they have great scenery like this...

 
And this...

     They don't have this...

   I really hate Daylight savings time. It is the only thing I have against Ben Franklin. But at least our founding fathers back then didn't like the idea of daylight savings time either.

   Personally I think the coffee lobbyist paid off congress to get it passed.

   Now if you will excuse me, I am going back to bed. (Yawning loudly) Maybe when I wake up I will find out it has all been a bad dream...

My Favorite Picture Book Blogfest

   Today I am protecipating in Megan of The Write at Home Mom's blogfeat. She has asked everyone to tell what their favorite picture book is. This is to honor all those authors who go us all started reading and enjoying stories.
 
   Today I would like to introduce my favorite picture book or rather books.
I just can't decide on just one of the series.

   Alexandra Day's Carl the Rottweiler books. I have been hooked since I saw the first Carl and baby book. "Good Dog, Carl"

   These books are great because the artwork is extrodinary.  Children of all ages will enjoy these books. There are very few words. The stories are all told by pictures. This allows your to make up your own stories, so they are constantly changing.

   I use to have all the Carl books at my house for any children that came over. I also bought my sister a set for her daughters and son. They enjoyed them tremendously, and you should have heard their stories of Carl.

   There are quite a few Carl book out now. Do yourself and every child you know a favor and check them out.

  Oh and check out Carl's website as well you will find it at www.gooddogcarl.com

Wish list Wednesday...

   I heard awhile back that if you want something, don't keep it to yourself. You will never get it that way. You should let the universe know what you wish for, and you will be amazed at the results.

  So with that in mind I decided to start wish list Wednesdays. What is on my wish list... lots of things. Practical things, fanciful things, things I would like to do, see or feel.  People I would like to meet. The universe is a place with unlimited space, so why should we limit our wishes.

  So here goes nothing...

   Practical wishes:



  I have a foodsaver that I got second hand. I would like to get these jar sealers to go with it.

I would need one of these as well

 

 




  







  What I wish to learn...

   I would like to be able to grow an organic garden that would supply Jack and I with enough food for the year.  Every year my garden gets a little bigger, so one day...

Yeah, that should a do it. Can you throw in the view as well?

    I guess if I have that garden I need to learn to can. So I probably need one of these too...

 













Someone I would wish to have lunch with...

Barbara Bush

                          Just think of the stories she would have to tell.



   One last wish for this week...

   I would love to be able to make a living from writing. I would then not have to worry about money or others for my living. I started blogging to work toward this one, so we will see.



   What is your wish? Why not let the universe know.

Doesn't that look like a quill pen writing.

Time for a change...

   I am feeling the need for a change. I need new fresh, clean outlook on my life so... I changed my blog design.
   Hey it is a whole lot easier than spring cleaning the house, and it doesn't require chemicals being lugged around.

  Besides my muses were getting a little tired of the mountains. Now that I have a fresh look, maybe I can refresh my blogging schedule and my muses.

Okay, okay. Maybe I should also clean my desk...
