We've see lots of ball on our walks....and it makes me smile thinking of the kids and adults playing in the neighborhood. And...I like anything round.
Obviously we're not picking them up....but I can celebrate them. And it was time for a new puzzle....and this time it's round!
This seemed like the perfect puzzle for this moment in time. Votes for Women! And I'm looking forward to voting FOR a woman in November.
Lucy Burns was born in 1879 and was a teacher and dedicated suffragist.
Well, we certainly have forces to be reckoned with in this election cycle, THAT's for danged sure!
ReplyDeleteYour sports balls photo montage evoked a memory of the year my middle kid, Scoot, wanted to be a soccer ball for Hallowe'en. I'm thinking he was maybe 9 years old. What he wanted was a 3-D costume, a round soccer ball large enough that the trunk of his body would be INSIDE the ball, with head, arms, and legs sticking out. A bit of a challenge, and it gave my geometry and sewing skills a run for their money. Turned out remarkably well—we stuffed the space around him in the black and white felt ball with crumpled up newspaper, and off he went to trick or treat!
Yes we do!
DeleteI have so many memories of making Halloween costumes for the boys. Thanks for sharing your soccer ball story! I can picture Scoot rolling down the street collecting his treats! Fabulous!
Although my son's nickname has long been Scooter Pier shortened to Scooter, his given name—and what I THOUGHT I'd typed—is Scott!!! He earned his nickname when he was six months old and Meg (2.5 years) had surgery that landed her for 15 days at Boston's Children's Hosp; Scott loved scooting around the ward where she took up residence in an infant walker : )
DeleteI love love love your new puzzle!
