Nothing better than a back yard pile of dirt to play in...

I love this picture, and it so describes the only Y word I was thinking of, and that is Yearning. Yearning for the days when our kids were little like this...... they would be playing just like your little one. I love his curls and total concentration on the task at hand.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

All the years mothering, then years of teaching pre-school and daycare and art classes and after-school programs...and summer recreation programs and then being third parent to my grandkids and then one day, they say you're not needed anymore....So
I sing the songs to myself walking in the woods.........singing to yourself just doesn't satisfy the same way.....and people look at you funny...I used to take the daycare and after-school kids on the same paths and we sang one of those endless songs about eating an apple with a great big fat fuzzy wuzzy worm inside and when we finished all the verses we would repeat the same song using a different child's name ...they all had to have a turn....It also distracted them from their tired legs....

This is such a cute"Y" photo, adorable. In his own little world happy and content playing in the dirt. What a beautiful head of hair he has too.

    I had Blue & Grey War Between the States soldiers.... Still do tucked in the attic that may get drug out some day.. My grandmother gave me two sets and a huge sandbox to play in. and more wooden blocks than anyone else.
One of my sons used to play for hours with those little soldiers too. His favourite spot to play with them was in the garden and the flower beds.

Your photo today reminds me so much of my childhood. That is all we did was play in the dirt me and my brothers and sisters. We couldn't wait for spring to come when we didn't have to wear shoes and we could run around barefoot.
Love the photo of the little guy with the beautiful blond curls.

Wonderful shot of a little child at play. The child is having a really great time there in the dirt.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

it was a great setup....We could work in the garden and the kids would be close by and the gate locked...There was also a small play house in there...I made a hammock for the baby so she could nap and I tied a long twine to the hammock so I could rock her if she got fussy..

I know watcha mean...I wish I had more photos of my children, but we lived so isolated and I purchased film by mail and had them developed by mail...The mail came once a week by float plane...I grew up learning how to develop photos in my father's dark-room and was in the photography club at school that had a dark room When I was in my 20s, I did a lot of nude modelling for photographers and artists and was involved in the development as well.....Mostly artsy experimental stuff...One guy painted flowers on my body and did a photo shoot at one of the UBC gardens...we had planted look-outs...So much fun.

He still has that head of hair...looks like a Dandelion in seed....His dad nags him to get a haircut, but he likes his "Afro".....has a special comb...

I have a friend in her 80s who heard a local singer use a yodel in a song and wanted to learn to yodel...She's a perky, busy lady who loves to learn new things....she even had a couple of children's books published in her 70s......So she got a few yodeling lessons and we asked her to demonstrate what she had learned...perform a little yodeling for us...we were mostly teasing and she came through....She yodeled...."lil ole lady who, lil ole lady who."...It was very well done and it cracked us up.....

What a character is your 80 something friend - her yodel rendition had me laughing too, very witty!
