Sweet Dreams and Besties

Sweet Dreams and Besties Watercolor 8×10

Sweet Dreams and Besties.

Doesn’t almost every child
go through a phase
where Elmo or another sweet snuggly
is their best friend?

May all your dreams
be as sweet as these.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

One of these things is not like the other…

One of these things is not like the others…

Who remembers this song from Sesame Street?

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

I took this picture of some chrysanthemums and pumpkins in my front yard, and when I looked at the picture, I was startled to see “the thing that doesn’t belong.”

Can you find it?

My oldest son, Jake, LOVED Sesame Street when he was little.  He was transfixed when it came on, and he learned so much from it.  Sometimes I joined him, and other times I did housework while he was pre-occupied and entertained, but so many of the songs still run through my brain triggered by the most unusual of things.

It is funny how something as simple as this can take your mind to a specific place and time and song.

Memories…

The wonderful, whimsical, wacky wonderment.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

fall dandelion

I couldn’t believe it when I spotted these dandelion blooms on my walk yesterday!  Dandelions typically bloom here in early Summer.  What are they doing amongst the fallen leaves of Autumn?

It reminded me (like oh so many things) of a song 🙂

Cheers & Hugs,
