What a glorious weekend weatherwise we just had! One of those lovely fall days full of sunshine and warmth. Yet I woke with the blues on Saturday. I suspect we all have those unexplainable days occasionally. So to shake myself out of it I took my dog, Ben, to the park where they were holding a Children's Book Festival. It's a large park, so there was plenty of space to walk unencumbered but when we came upon the festival, what a marvelous crush! Children of all ages, faces painted, paper crowns upon their heads, carrying book bags, talking to local authors, listening to story-tellers, taking in WORDS. My blues floated away to merge with the clear, blue sky of that lovely fall day. And Ben enjoyed the outing, too.
There is a song in there somewhere. I am sure of it.
ReplyDeleteI know, I was humming it as I typed: "Hello, darkness, my old friend..." That's the one, right?
ReplyDeleteWish I'd been there, definitely my scene, glad it cheered you....Carole.
