I'm glad you liked my silly poem...And I think the answer to why kids don't play outside today like we did as kids is kinda complicated, but I'm sure electronic media and the change in what's important by school officials has something to do with it. Here in the U.S. "recess" (the time around lunchtime at school) has been completed cut out of the kid's day. I have such wonderful memories of playing at 'recess'. And these kids don't have required music classes as part of their school schedule either. 'Required play'...has disappeared from their lives. Such a shame too...I don't have the energy for it anymore, but I'm so thankful for the memories of it. :-]PoetessWughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269054577952128702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-75102318918674964462012-01-24T01:02:38.338-08:002012-01-24T01:02:38.338-08:00O-U-C-H!!!!

I think of all that running around playing netball, tennis, swimming and cricket as a kid & wonder where all that energy came from. I just find it a shame that my two don't play any where near as much as I did as a child :(Jo-anne Blossyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07333850600737374891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-72513700599266801802012-01-23T17:29:59.007-08:002012-01-23T17:29:59.007-08:00What lovely treasury.

Your red hat looks like it will surely keep ones head very warm during the cold winter months. Very nice! The Sea Urchin shells are so very delicate and pretty. We used to collect the deceased sea urchins that had washed up on the shore along the Gulf Coast. We would dry them out in the sun, boil them in lightly bleached water and then scrap off the spines. What resulted were stunning lilac shells with a beautiful texture. Perfect for placing in a bowl and using as decorative pieces. Great looking black hat with the very cool button. You do such beautiful work! Enjoy your tennis!Julie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08552498284012539176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-63052423791880474492012-01-23T14:34:53.475-08:002012-01-23T14:34:53.475-08:00YAY!!!!
