Illustration Friday: Toy

"It went zip when it went,

Bop when it stopped,

And whir when it stood still."

~from a song by Peter, Paul, and Mary

(Originally by Tom Paxton)

This week's topic is "toy." This song popped into my head when I read it. It is difficult to illustrate a mysterious object.

Illustration Friday: Cultivate

This week's prompt is Cultivate. We are cultivating a lot of things around here, including scientific minds. DH is growing pea plants as part of an experiment and having the kids observe their growth.

Illustration Friday: Stir

When things get all stirred up it takes a long time for anything to settle out. Which is why I've gone so long without posting. Homeschooling is harder than I thought, managing special needs is harder than I thought. Heck just getting this image off my iPad was harder than I thought.

This was also inspired by the Tsunami warning we had here a few days ago--that I didn't even know about until after the wave had "hit" California. Prayers for the people in Japan.
