Une Petite Pensee: Books in Bags

Victorian Clutch Found Here

Now possessing a bag that can hold more than a wallet and a phone, I have the delightful option to carry books and notebooks with me where ever I go. When putting books in bags, put them spine facing up. Small items are less likely to be lost in the pages or the pages themselves to be crushed.

Une Petite Pensee: Black Sheets

From Cindy Wright

Black sheets are not as good an idea as they sound.

They are not as black as you think they should be and pick up every little piece of lint, dust or stray hairs and display them to the worst possible advantage. And, if you buy them on sale for $15, they are more plastic than cloth.

Buyer be warned: either invest properly into dark colored sheets or expect to be disappointed.

Une Petite Pensee: A Cool Green Tunnel

From paintinghere.com Based on Pedar Mork Monsted's work
I bike along a river every day to reach my school. Over the seasons, I have watched the leaves turn yellow and scatter across the path. I have seen the bare trunks coated in bitter snow. I have witnessed the leaves and vegetation burst forth with a vengeance.

Now, with summer, having arrived, I bike down a cool green tunnel every morning. Above me the leaves are fresh and full and the bushes prove the green walls around me as I hurtle along the path. On my left, I can catch glimpses of the river sparkling between the leaves. And when there is the taste of rain in the air?

There is no greater pleasure.

Une Petite Pensee: Parasols

Richard Emil Miller "The Pool"

Parasols, the proper brass and cloth kind, speak in muffled creaks as you walk. Much, I think, like the sails of a ship.
