glorious creatures

ALT: crayon drawing of several odd-shaped plant beings, like wavy cones with the wide base on the ground, swaying to points up in the air. These actually are from memory of a series of morning glory plantings in my neighborhood, where the vines have swarmed up whatever supported them, and are now standing and blooming as if they’re a chorus that shouts in purple blooms every morning.

I finished my coloring page from 8/20

putt me in the zoo

ALT: crayon drawing of a yellow quadruped with red and green spots, tongue sticking out and a red balloon floating next to them. The very first book I remember reading all by myself was Robert Lopshire’s “Put Me In The Zoo”. I was very proud that I could follow the story, and say all the words. But I was puzzled by this recurring word, which I pronounced “putt”. When it was explained to me, I was aggrieved by the illogic of spelling the english language.
