Life Immitates Art.....

I thought I'd start off my blog today with these pictures of Maddie and Fanny Agnes, a delightful character in one of my favorite children books, "Fanny's Dream"
(written by Mark and Caralyn Buehner-the authors of "Snowmen at Night").
Liz sent me the pictures last night and I had to stop and chuckle a bit. In the story Fanny is so excited about going to a real ball that she accidentally picks the carrots and leaves the weeds (she is a hard working farm girl). Maddie is such a tease that she stopped "mid-reading" of the book to strike this pose. I tend to get involved in the books I read, too, so it warmed my heart to share this love with Maddie.

Way to go, Maddie!

Here is some great advice about jumping in and enjoying the moment:

"Waiting for the fish to bite,
or waiting for wind to fly a kite,
Or waiting around for Friday night,
or perhaps for their Uncle Jake,
or a pot to boil,
or a better break,
or a string of pearls,
or a pair of pants,
or a wig with curls,
or another chance.
Everyone is just waiting."
