Friday Musings

Last year around this time it had been a record season for rain-

not so much this year, it’s bright and sunny today, due to hit the ‘80’s sometime later this weekend. Happy weekending!

Spring is almost here!

Spring is making her arrival in southern california, despite the tragedy happening around the world:

This sweet little girl was floating along down a stream out at Mission Trails last month. We haven’t made it back out there for a few weeks, but with more rain in the weather forecast for this weekend, we might just see some rivulets on our next walk.

Yup- she floated the whole way down this little stream! So quiet and peaceful, her morning errands done, she packed up her market basket and just floated home. I love watching nature unfold before us on days like that- no cell phone, no cars or traffic or chores. Just sunshine and fresh air.
A quiet moment for the disaster victims in Japan…

This brand new year…

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Well, I love a fresh start, so here’s to no regrets, no excuses, and lots of new posts for this brand new year! This month I have started my first ever historically inspired costume- pictures coming soon for that, as soon as I get some batteries for my camera. On that topic- want to see what the winter has been like for us? Take a look:

Lots of rain, and wind, and cold, that’s what! But this week the sun showed her shining face, so we went out and braved the wet and the muck at Mission Trails park. The trail was washed out in a few places, and we got our feet wet, but it was so worth it!

It’s been so long since I have heard the sound of running water! The fairies are very jealous, they’ve been stuck inside for ages, they say. I’ve pulled the mansion out of her storage area, and dusted off the Foot and Fang too. Time to get back to outfitting them for habitation I’ve been told. Very firmly, too. Fingers-shaken-in-my-face-type firmly. Yikes! Back soon with an up-date on that quarter folks!
