It was
Red Ribbon Week at school, and though Maria kept forgetting to wear red, she did put her heart and creativity into her poster.
"Healthy Me ~ Way to Be" was the theme, and Maria illustrated a girl surrounded by good ideas and suggestions for living a healthy life. She drew a border with books, gardens, play activities, and community building suggestions, like sharing from your garden, and cycling. I like the pictures at the bottom, of the girl reading, and Maria's message, "
Reading is good for you! So many books to read! Read a book! Big, and small, funny and spooky... read it all!" I
love that these ideas were her own, and that they are a reflection of her school's message...
it's not just rhetoric from the week's theme, but the genuine spirit and message our school and community honors and supports in classes, and special programs, throughout the year. We feel fortunate to be here, that Maria can go to to a school with such a
healthy vision for its students and community.
Good Things...
1. We have {
finally} chosen our house paint color! The
important thing is that it has a pretty name, too. We committed with the first five gallon bucket of
"Arrowhead Lake." It's blue. And it's
bluetiful!
2. It took us 10 months to decide on a house color, and only moments to unanimously agree to
paint the barn red!
3. Paul, Janece, and Amira came over with Mediterranean food... and we feasted on the delicious food, and happy company.
4. We watched the
Nature episode, "Animal Misfits," which was wonderful. Mudskippers are hilarious and deeply odd, and I want to save
the kakapo!
5. Seam rippers. It's
not good how often I need this tool, but thank goodness for seam rippers!
Thinking about Maria's poster, I feel inspired to enjoy a nice walk today, to spruce up our Little Free Library, and maybe get around to tending our veggie garden, too. Happy Monday, friends. I hope there are good things awaiting you this week~
