For Fall!
This is the project I have planned for my seniors this Wednesday. I think it will be fun. I have painted faces on four sides of this mini pumpkin to serve as examples for them to follow. One is this goofy face, one is a snarling cat, one is a scary spirit, and one is a sweet lady with a kiss puckered on her mouth. I will be interested to see what they come up with. My group has grown so much over the summer that we now have to meet in the community room where there is more space to spread out! I started with about four or five and now we are nearing a dozen. I'm so glad that the creative juices are alive and flowing!
We have had such a string of stunningly gorgeous days this last week and I have spent a lot of time outside in my sorely neglected garden. I've been pruning back, pulling weeds, planting chrysanthemums and flower bulbs - blue tulips!- can you believe that?? I'll be really anxious to see those come spring, and some double daffodils, along with some pretty little grape hyacinth, which I adore. I wish there was a way to bottle these beautiful days and let them out slowly one by one in February. But, alas, we cannot. We can only enjoy them while they last.
Hope your days are all beautiful.

I knew you would be a blessing to those seniors. They now trust you and want to be with you. You fill their lives with joy no doubt. Good for you girl. I am proud of you.
I too have been working in the garden. I dug up surprise lilies and spread them around more. Weeds are always here to be pulled. ;)
Have a great week.
Aww Lisa, thank you so much for those kind words. I do feel like I am putting a little sunshine in their otherwise bleak days. Now, if I could just get them to open up and talk a little! They are so quiet.
This is so cute! You must be the highlight of those senior's day.
I love your wonderful idea. It's cute and funny. I really enjoyed exploring your blog. Thanks.

this is adorable and I'm sure they will love it. so glad you are enjoying the teaching - things happen so mysteriously don't they?
wow that is wonderful that your seniors are coming by the dozen. i am sure you create a fun time for them. that pumpkin is so funny. they will love it!!!
My days are not beautiful right now, which is why I love reading your blog. Then I remember that rotten days are not forever and I should not take them too seriously.
Wow! This is very creative. The seniors would totally dig it. They would have something new to do rather than the monotonous schedules they been having.
