Magpie Tales- #69
The Next Step- ( a haibun)
next step altered
tiny shell missing fondly
tranquility reins
one misstep and I knew I'd be eating sandy spam on wheat and lemon cookies...
Lila was telling tales of rice plantations and slavery... pirates and skeletons all jumble together..
I was pondering wee spiraled cones..

Oh what a long and busy day.. I had a house full of nearly teens.. three girls and one boy.. they all wanted to play Sims at once and we all know that won't work.. they played rock band once or twice but this one would all but squeal over the others choice of song.. finally I said .. "I have had enough...." .. well.. actually I didn't say that.. but I said some other stuff.. and ordered them to the dining table to write me a story... they draw a scrap of paper with a prompt on it.. I have to have at least five sentences... and when everyone is through they stand one at the time and tell us their story.. nothing too hard.. but I do want an illustration of some kind.. ok so I'm mean.. we are learning reading and writing skills.. spelling and art... they also help cook.. and toss corn at critters.... play hide the penny... and swim..
I gotta tell you.. kids think deep.. they claim I am making them keep a journal cause I'm mean and making them learn all summer.. the truth is that I do hope they learn something this summer.. they are really talented and I want them to know that.. but every time they present their stories I learn from them.. and that is worth every second of getting up early and listening to ... "she looked at me... she touched my phone.... she texted about me to Em"... all day.. I also made and canned 4 quarts and 7 pints of salsa and 20 quarts of squash today... time now to rest and cool off.. Thanks for stopping by to read a few of my words today.. I welcome both comments and followers... I hope you have a remarkable day..

Oh, those teens will drive you crazy--but they will also crack you up too. Enjoy them....if you can!

wow the baby is so adorable
cute little baby. love his smile. The shell picture was great too
Awww adorable baby! I think that's a great idea getting them to write stories just weight to me daughter is old enough to write lol Actually I'd be very excited to see what she has to say.
Very nice. Beautiful family.
I am amazed you were able to write anything at all, let alone the beautiful pictures, the sterling writing lessons, and the childen tumbling everywhere. The poem is enigmatic, the photo of the shell, just right! Lovely. May you have a summer of peace -- and more writing.
that certainly looks fun!
thanks for sharing!
Aaaaahhhhh, what a peach of a baby - simply gorgeous!
Good on you for the 3 'P's! Pencil, paper and prompt. That was all I had as a kid. Rock Band does my head in - why can't they choose nice, quiet video games, eh?
I enjoyed playing "Strut Miss Lucy" for the first time. You have got some great pictures! Love ya!
