BLOCK WALK

Nicholas saw:

A BIG green truck grinding up the garbage
And a BIG red truck fixing a stop sign on our street


OUR WEATHER

The sun was Bright
The breeze was Brisk

But - it did not nip Nicholas' nose

Thursday in the Rain

*
Nicholas wears his Shiny Warm Raincoat
and Big Blue Boots and sees:


Vehicles swishing swiftly on Westmoreland Street

Raindrops making circles and bubbles in a Big Puddle
*
*

Wednesday in the Rain

*
The rain is falling

Drops go.. Plop.. Plop.. Polp..
Cars go.. Swish.. Swish.. Swish..

Nicholas sees:

A man with a Blue umbrella
A lady with a Yellow umbrella
...and a Blue bag

A Black umbrella and a Blue
umbrella walk together..




Plop.. Plop.. Plop..

Another Black umbrella
Here comes a Grey umbrella
Another Black umbrella

Swish.. Swish.. Swish..

Here comes Charlie's bus
It is Yellow but it does
not have an umbrella

Swish.. Swish.. Swish..

AND here comes Ba's
Bright Rainy Day Umbrella

That makes Eight Wet Umbrellas!

Today is Tuesday

DETERMINATION

Oh..Oh.. Nannie has put
a big buffer in front of
the TV - my favorite driveway

Stretch... Stretch...
Find my little green Tonka
and... drr..iiivee...


INQUISITIVE

Oh..Oh.. Nannie is writing
in her book - I am going
to take a look...


TODAY'S WALK
... is cool and breezy
Wind nips Nicholas' nose
We watch a big black crow
Find food in the snow
And say'Good Morning'
To two nice people and
A quiet cat sitting sedately
on its doorstep.
*

Monday... Monday...

*
Nicholas discovers:

- The TV ledge makes a fine driveway for his little green Tonka
- His hand makes a frosty print on the glass door as he watches for the bus

Nicholas looks:

- For cause and effect (If I press this button - what will happen to the TV picture?)

It's Friday . . .

*
Nicholas saw:

A Big Black Crow eat pizza for breakfast

A Tiger Cat talk as it sat at its gate

A Polite Dog wait patiently on a doorstep

A Wee Squirrel bounce across the street

An Invisible Bird gargle high in the tree
where no one could see

A Single Chickadee sing just for Nannie and me

AND a Gorgeous Golden Dog named Charlie
who trots and tries to kiss me ...
*
*

Thursday's Block Walk

*
Nicholas saw:

Purple crocuses dance around a sleeping bush

Dusty December snow slowly sink into the ground

One wee bird sing lustily in the tip top of a tree
*
*

Morning Air

Nicholas saw:

A crow calling from
the VERY tip of
the tallest tree


A VERY noisy machine scrubbing the street

A VERY tall stone church soaking up the sun

Spring crocuses – VERY yellow and VERY bright

A VERY – VERY big vehicle outside Ralph’s store.


LULLABY AT NOON

Little ones
Belong to Jesus
Yes, they do (3x)

MORNING CAT

Cat sits in the doorway
Step... Step... Step...

Now into the pathway
Step... Step... Step...

Cat sits on the sidewalk
Creep... Creep... Creep...

Counts the cars
One... Two...

Zips across the street
Oh... Oh... Oh...

Into Miss Irvine's backyard
No... No... No...

Come back Naughty Cat

Lullaby

Fuzzy little sleepy head
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Nannie sings a lullaby
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Out on our street
The cars whizz by
Their tires hum
This lullaby
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

You snuggle close
So soft and sweet
What happened to
Those busy feet?

They're quiet now
No time for play ...

Our big green chair
Is warm and deep
It holds us close
And softly squeaks
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

The shadows tuck
Around your head
They're whispering
It's time for bed
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Fuzzy little sleepy head
The morning's just one nap away
We'll laugh and tumble, dream and play

So close your eyes ... Close your eyes


WALK AROUND THE BLOCK

Nicholas saw:

a parking lot full of cars
a squirrel digging in the earth
a breeze that nips his cheeks and nose
and his bright blue rubber boots

Rain

It's a rainy day

splash
.... splash
........ splash

Nicholas sees lots
and lots of vehicles
on the street

And lots and lots
of people with umbrellas



Ba has a Big
Green Umbrella
Charlie has a Yellow Raincoat
and a Little Blue Umbrella

Bye Bye Charlie
Bye Bye Ba

splash ... splash ... splash ...

Nicholas watches for Charlie's bus
He sees a big red and yellow bus
A pink and white umbrella
A yellow and green umbrella
Two wet dogs taking a walk
A big black crow flying
between the raindrops

Here comes Charlie's Yellow Bus

Here comes Ba
with a Big Green Umbrella
AND a Little Blue Umbrella.


CAT


Naughty Cat climbs
Finds clean clothes
Freshly folded

Mommy's pyjamas
Charlie’s jeans
Daddy’s shirts

Nudges
Burrows
Slips
Flips

Stop that, Naughty Cat!

On Nicholas' best
blue blanket
Naughty Cat sat…
