Two Inchies...Two Stones

Kris is hosting an

Every Inchie Monday project

and it is very challenging.

Last week the word prompt

was maudlin.

I had to look that one up!

It means emotional, mushy etc.

Here is my inchie for this week.

The word prompt was

mirthful.

I think of laughter for that word.

The base for all of my inchies is recycled watercolor paper.

So, they already have color on them.

Then the words are cut from a ragged old dictionary

I've had for ages. 

I am still pondering on what I will do

when I get all 52 made, as there are lots

of possibilities.

Below are 2 small stones for the

A River of Stones project.

This time they are related to this photo

I took early one morning last week.

Many hundreds of feathered winter Texans

are still arriving.  I am a flat lander,

so when it rains here, it collects in any

low areas in the fields.  This is the sight you see

quite often when driving down the road.

My 2 stones.....

Puddle ducks by the hundreds

web footed and in mass

sing their dawns chorus

in the freshwater shallows

of winter

The feathered tall blue hunter

wades with movements imperceptable

patience...patience

in his vigilant pursuit

Savor the Day!
