For poetry fans

 


Damon had a poetry assignment for english class to write five poems, any style. After far more griping that one would possibly expect and perhaps more parental involvement that was strictly necessary, he ended up with the following. and got an "A". not that i'm keeping track. my favorite is the last one. apologies for the fuzziness of the photo.

For far-flung friends and family

 
For me, part of the fun of Facebook is seeing everyone's kids and the stuff everyone is doing in actual photos. I figured some of you are the same way, and I'm addicted to spring, so here are some photos of Lalaith Havens in the springtime. It's fun seeing things pop up where there'd just been dead leaves and snow. We're constantly guessing what plants are coming up, and we're even finding some in unexpected places. The very best part is that we didn't have to plant any of them ourselves, haha!
 


 
I'm pretty sure the top ones are violets, we have dandelions out the wazoo- or did before Dada mowed them all- and PaPa said the lower photo of purply flowers are phlox of some kind. Just gorgeous. Even the kids noticed, hehe! I'm sure there will be more nature shots to come. Just wanted to fill in the gap for those of you far away. =) You're welcome.
