The View From Here: Oh, Deer!

All the snow has begun to melt at last,

and the deer are nibbling whatever tender morsels they can find:

A few sunset pictures I took recently using a cell phone camera. I touched them up a little bit in a photo editing program. No, I wasn't driving when I took the pictures!

Reflections on Black History Month

It’s Black History Month once again. Now that America has a black president, people are debating whether or not we still need Black History Month. My opinion: yes we do, more than ever. Why? Because there are still plenty of people in this country who know very little about the accomplishments of black people aside from George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. Our history is rich with examples of inventors, scientists, artists, explorers, etc. Many inventions we take for granted today were the brainchildren of forgotten African Americans from yesteryear. And there are still many trailblazers living today that we can and should recognize for their role as living history. The African American contribution to history should be recognized, and continuing the tradition of Black History Month will help us to do so.

Back to my church crafts

The children's church program started up again and I have been making new craft samples. You know me; I'll be posting some of them soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

So excited to see 2011 and all I look forward to the wonderful creative projects that are sure to come forth in this year!!!
