Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Changing Seasons

    For me the winter season is all about curling up in front of a fire with my knitting and drinking hot cocoa. Nevermind the fact that this photo represents the only time I have ever used my fireplace.

    untitled (8 of 14).jpg

    I came home sick with a stomach-ache and am dispatching this blog post from bed. Whatever it is came on sudden. I am hoping it isn’t the virus going around town that causes people to vomit without warning.

    Here is a photo I took last week of a tiny mushroom.

  • Rewrite your first post

    December 4, 2012
    we called it Whale Beach.
    we called it Whale Beach.

    I am using the daily prompt from yesterday:

    Now that you’ve got some blogging experience under your belt, re-write your very first post.

    First, I want to take this opportunity to say that my blog is going to be TEN YEARS OLD on January 27, 2013. I am cooking up something in celebration and I will let you know in due time what that will be. But for now, here is my first post (from January 27th, 2003) rewritten as a pantoum.

    R. and I took a drive up the coast yesterday.
    It was so rejuvenating.
    We went to one of our favorite beaches.
    I don’t know the name of the beach but it is very beautiful.

    It was so rejuvenating.
    There are lots of rocks jutting up from the ocean.
    I don’t know the name of the beach but it is very beautiful.
    Yesterday the waves were huge!

    I felt so full of energy and hope.

    I don’t ever want to leave this place.

    I felt so full of energy and hope.
    I love living here.
    I don’t ever want to leave this place.
    Expensive it is and hard to get by.
