Lessons from Legos

I recently pulled out a box full of legos from my youth, and this afternoon the May Queen and I sat on the floor creating. There's something about the (very LOUD) sound of digging through a box of lego pieces that is oddly satisfying (although I was admonished to dig more quietly).

I found that there were some lessons to be learned from the legos:

The best homes have lots of windows.

There's no need for a TV....

As long as you have lots of books.

Bald is beautiful...

But remember to wear a hat when you are outside
(also... lots of flowers make for a nice garden to sit in)

The May Queen taught me that if there is no room for an oven inside, it is OK to put it in your front yard. This is not considered trashy, but "fantasy land." She reasoned "if I can park my flying car in my house, you can put your oven in your front yard." Hard to argue with that. I'll think of it as a lovely outdoor brick oven that I use when I have my plastic neighbors over for an organic cookout.


Best of all, The May Queen learned that a little imagination goes a long way when you have a box of Legos.

Speaking of Legos, have you seen The Brick Testament? It's Bible stories illustrated with Legos. Sense of humor required.

I haven't been blogging much, I know. Life, and all that. I did get my tax returns filed, and have been enjoying rehearsals. I've been trying to resist the urge to post "just because." But the muse struck this afternoon, for what it's worth.

Monday's Mission, if you choose to accept it, is to write a post in the style of a Sympathy Card. Maybe my blog needs a little sympathy for it's current anemia.
