…thanks to the Ragtag community for hosting the Ragtag Daily Prompts https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/ragtag-daily-prompt-thursday-picture-book/
Today’s daily prompt is picture books. I loved Mies van Hout’s books about friendship and feelings. They made for great discussion starters in my classes and the drawings inspired many art lessons as well.
…in April
Now that we’re back home I can start blogging again. I was unable to post photos on my trip so over the next several weeks I’ll be posting photos from the UK. Some will be in challenges and others will be used to document our adventures.
I was amazed to find roses blooming this time of year but I found them all over Scotland and London, England. A rare site here in Toronto.

Tomorrow we are starting our trip to the UK. I’ve been prepping my blog and scheduling posts for the next two to three weeks because I’m not sure that I’ll be able to post any photographs while we’re on the trip. Even though I’ve deleted over 500 photos from my media page it still says I have no room for new ones.
I can still see other posts and leave comments (hopefully) but if I can’t I’ll catch up when we return May 20th. In the meantime here are Kevin’s friends all ready for the trip.

If you have any trios you’d like to share just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out and leave a comment. You may not hear from me until after May 20th when I return from our UK trip but if I can do it from my phone you may hear earlier. Have fun!

On a recent walk I came a cross a beautiful pair of swans. I only noticed one for the longest time until someone told me that there was a coyote eyeing the swan that was sitting on a nest just over to my left. I never did see the coyote, even though I did venture closer to the nest. It was only because the red ants were starting to bite my ankles that I decided to move to drier ground.

Today’s number is 137. If you go to your picture file and type in the number a selection of photos should appear. Here’s what came up for me.
…went into the archives for these
If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. I will get a pingback. Thanks.
…first post in six days
I have not vanished off the face of the Earth or gone down some rabbit whole that I can’t get out of. Instead I have been missing in action due to the worst cold I’ve had in years. It has literally kept me in bed or on the couch. Yesterday was the first day I ventured outside and that was to the pharmacy to fill a prescription.
I did try to check my emails but even that became a chore, especially when my computer told me that I had no room left to run any programs. I tried to delete some non-essential programs but even that became problematic and I feared that I was going to delete something essential.
Anyway, I hope to get back into the groove and start posting again soon. I’m currently planning for a trip to the UK at the end of this month so I need to stay healthy and try to get over this nagging cough. Hope everyone is healthy and happy, especially now that spring is officially here and better days are ahead.
Love
Mama Cormier/Carol
