Recovery
Recovery what does it mean? There are many ways to define recovery and I am going to describe it in my own words. Recovery is when a person is recuperating from an activity usually after an activity of some kind. A runner can recover (rest) after a race, a patient recovers after surgery, a groundskeeper recovers after completing various outdoor jobs, etc. How one recovers depend on what one has done.

Blizzard
After reading another creators poem on snow it kind of made me homesick for a good down-home blizzard from the North. Even though it is hot and humid in the Deep South where I live now, I really miss the cold and snow from the North for it is September and it supposed to start getting chilly now but not here in Louisiana, and I actually think it's getting more humid. Snow has it hazards, and you know what I mean, but it so pretty and I always like watching it fall covering everything. For the last few weeks or say a month all I want is cool weather for I will accept highs in the 50's now for that would be better than 90's and 100's.

More books
How many books can one really read? I am a person that would rather read a book than do anything else. Reading books for me is a way to learn new ideas and things to do other than just a way to relax with a cup of tea or coffee, but maybe can of beer. Books are my friend, and I am finding out how many books that one can really read and being a book reviewer helps a lot.

What is sketching?
So, what is sketching? Sketching is an artistic form that is the very beginnings of a drawing or a painting of an object of some kind. An object could be just about anything from the common fruit bowl to a tree to a house, etc. To me sketching is just a way to relax and have fun. As some say a picture is like a thousand words. Artists are writers and writers are artists. One uses pictures and one uses words. To me these two careers are compatible with each other. What would a book especially a children's or youth book be without pictures or at least some illustrations. I think adult books even have illustrations at times if I'm not mistaken.

Winnie
tiddle, diddle um a song he sings many times just for fun too. (Winnie the Pooh is one of favorite characters ever since early elementary school. Pooh makes you think about things in a different way. Line one is a little song he sings while he 'exercises' or just 'sitting and thinking' or as Line three reads just for fun. Learning and helping is the thing to do is what I got and get every time I read 'Winnie the Pooh', 'The House at Pooh Corner' and the poetry books 'When We Were Young' and 'Now We Are Six'.)

Doors
doors side by side which one open or close In or out please. (Not sure on this one. I saw this picture of two doors side by side and wondered which side do people enter or leave or going in and out. What happens when a child goes out one side and the other side and forgets to close the door but sees that the one side is closed and thinks they shut it when they didn't. Two doors side by side could be confusing at times. Maybe that is why I am not too sure of this one.) Please comment.
