Pink Pearl


Last year I tried to get a full moon shot every month. I havn't been as dedicated this year but tonight there was a beautiful moon. It reminds me of a pearl nestled on pillow of clouds. Some of the names I have heard for an April full moon are Seed moon, Pink moon, Flower moon, and Growing moon. I think all the names have to do with the awakening of the plants in spring.

Butterflies are free


Today I packed a picnic for four and headed to the Annual Swan Festival. There we met up with Melodie and Lady Em. One of highlights of the day was Lucy the Clown.. a very talented face painting clown. The kids all stood on line to be tranformed into cows, dogs , tigers, and a lot of beautiful butterflies.

Ghost's

You know when someone you love dies, and later , you think you see them . Just a glimpse and your heart races... Then you remember that they are gone and your heart crashes. Today I saw the ghost of me... the girl I used to be. It has been so long, I wondered if it is too late . I feel so far removed from her . I miss her... and I want her back.

The Old Fashioned Way











The Idea of hard work and self suffciency is nothing new to these old boys. Floyd and his friend Marty have been working hard every day making lumber. Firing up the old sawmill is quite a task, it is heavy, sweaty, exhausting work. And though even though they come to the house at suppertime moving slower and groaning when they move, I can tell they have a sense of a good days work well done. P.S. the smell of sawdust is heavenly.

April Showers

Today was unseasonably warm. Perfect for the first weiner roast of the year. Taking fire precautions is important this time of year, and Valkrie was more than willing to help keep things watered down . What a wonderful day I had today.
