Pen or pencil?

“Pencil or pen?” people always ask …

To which I reply “crayons work, too.”

What I love about crayons …

Are the colors.

Unlike pencils and pens, they come in a box with pretty much the full range of colors that you need. As a kid I remember the green crayon always getting the most use, to the point that other colors were practically untouched by the time green had turned into a shortened and paper frayed nub.

As for the crayon picture featured on this post, it’s a drawing of the place I used to live many years ago on Cape Cod. I’ve always loved a good window that I can look out into the trees. That’s a perfect window for coloring with crayons or writing a long note.
