September Morning Clouds, Mars, PA
puffy,
cottony,
drifting clouds
truly clamour for my attention.
Without them,
the sky it quite plain,
flat,
usual,
and really rather ordinary.
But when the clouds decorate the sky,
the world is fancy,
it’s round and full and fluffy,
it’s different and unique and unusual
it’s EXTRAordinary.
So go ahead,
get your head up in the clouds.
It’s not a bad place to be
after all.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
McConnells Mill State Park, Lawrence County, PA – 101715
Rocky trails,
a rushing creek,
earthy smells of Autumn pines.
A churning mill,
a covered bridge,
sunshine, clouds, a slushy sleet surprise.
Laughter and love,
reminiscing and remembering,
moments to cherish always.
An Autumn weekend afternoon
wandering with
one of the besties of bestie friends.
Nothing is ordinary
nature is EXTRAordinary
when we cherish life in between.

Who remembers the nursery rhyme about what little boys are made of?
Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. (What is a snip anyway???)
Well – not sure about a snip, but I thought a snail would be fun to paint in watercolor, and I had a little boy I needed to send a birthday “snail mail” card to.
It was fun to make a colorful snail for a very colorful little boy.
Don’t underestimate the power of snail mail….
Doesn’t it make your day when you receive a card or note in the mailbox? It is so rare anymore, but oh the joy – oh the appreciation we feel when we receive a handwritten – or better yet a handmade note or card. Right?
Want to do something EXTRAordinary? Send someone a handwritten “snail mail” note or card today? I guarantee you will make their day! 🙂
Cheers & Hugs,

Nothing is ordinary…
so don’t try to be.
Be your own kind of EXTRAordinary…
it’s the best recipe.
Cheers & Hugs,
