Superior Skipping Stones

*disclaimer: blogger is not letting me upload photos...blah, this is all I can give you.


I am proud to say I have learned the art of stone skipping. Yes, I still have some kerplunkers, but it was a day of double skippers and some special 5 skippers. Bits did his share of double skips, by taking two stones, one in each hand and splashing them. Mike, a master stone skipper, skipped his stones across the river to bounce back onto the opposite shore. Cool factor increased for him.


I collected pocketfuls of stones, with right size, shape, and weight appropriate for superb skipping, and later to be used in some of my "yup" pieces. I can skip stones, can you?

Rainy Days mean Splashing In Puddles

Surprise! It rained again yesterday, and is cloudy this morning. There was a break in the rain for a few hours yesterday, so Bacon Bits and I took a stroll at the park. There was a brief swing moment, but other than that it was mostly about walking around and playing a game called "Watch Out for the Poopy"...the geese are hanging out around the lake enjoying the view.

There's a little pair of tennis shoes at the front door drying out. No matter how well Mommy plays defense, the little guy always manages to break through and jump in a puddle or two. Galoshes, here we come.

It is so beautiful up here if you stop to take those moments even on rainy days to look at the sky. People don't know what they're missing if they've never ventured north of the bridge.
