Students Stretch into their Poetic Selves!
Writing, writing, writing!
Every year the Dallas Public Library sponsors the “Express Yourself YOUTH POETRY COMPETITION for students grades 2 – 12.
This is my second year to participate in teaching Poetry Workshops in various schools. What a delight it is for me to see all these young people writing poems!
More new farmstead friends!
Here we are with new friends Hayden and Emily at The Heritage Farmstead Museum
We were telling jokes and riddles for the farm! Here is one: What is a sheep’s favorite game? BAAAAdminton!
I’M STILL HAPPY because back in July we visited 5 Dallas Libraries and made bunches of new friends! First, we went to Mountain Creek Parkway Library! We told stories and then everyone made themselves a Spike puppet. That was GRRReat, too!
Spike here.
This is May 6th in our gardens! It’s Molly Fox’s birthday! Happy Birthday Molly!
April 25: Now I did not get to go to Yesterfest to celebrate those Pioneer Days in Bastrop, Texas. I don’t understand why not. I had begun to work up some lines where I would say, “Pie, where’s the Pie? I heard there was going to be Pie near.” Or another was, “Hey Where’s the great deal on the Pioneer VHS tape decks? I thought we were going to get some great buys on Pioneer stuff. That way I could watch my favorite movie, The Lion in Winter!” But no, I stayed home and had my own party. But that’s another story. I did add this picture of me because I look like I am saying WAAAAH! I didn’t get to go to Bastrop!
I suggested we do a CRAZY picture. Here’s Kamil joining us making crazy faces! That’s me with the biggest mouth!
April 14-17: Jiaany Girl and I traveled to Austin for the annual Texas Library Association Conference. We performed at the Storytelling Roundtable Evening Concert.
Check out my video on YouTube – Spike in Austin!
Our good friend, Paula Ellis, did the video. Thanks, Paula! Everybody Enjoy!
