Clouds

Clouds above drifting

To an unknown profound sky

Wind will stir earth straws.



Haiku 'clouds' by Peter S. Quinn









Our cloud recipe: One half cup all purpose white glue (Elmers), two cups shaving cream, generous helping of fun= clouds, and one happy boy. Yes, they do dry puffy and soft!

I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I just discovered your blog (can't remember how I found you now...) and really enjoy reading it. My family and I used to live in Maine (for about 11 years, 3 years ago now), near Portland, so I like reminiscing about life there through your blog. I also love the music that you have playing and often will leave your blog open in one window when I go blog-browsing in another - some great songs and artists on there! And of course I really enjoy reading about/seeing the wonderful things you do with your son (who is adorable, btw). Great cloud recipe in particular - I'll have to try that with my kiddos. Thanks for sharing your days with us! I look forward to reading more...
