Have you ever wanted to be the fly on the wall somewhere? While it might not be the "somewhere" you may have desired today is your big chance.

Some conversations and things overheard at our house.

"Ice cream colored glasses"

"Does the world look better with icecream colored glasses?"

"How can it not?! It's ice cream!"

"They weren't scared. They weren't frightened. They were just plants."

I'm also announcing a bit of a shift in my blogging. When I began I wanted to do this every day. It was delightful to do so. Things have changed since then. My kids have become more getinsky and less patient with my computer time. I just don't have as much to say that I'm ready to set before so many invisibles. So I'll be blogging more irregularly in the future.

So my dear invisible friends (and visible ones) Happy Trails!

I bought this tiny copy of Hamlet when I was in Stratford.

It has become the favorite book of both of my children.

Can you tell?

You never know. You just never know.

I love that.

Rain Plants

Went out to take pictures after the rain this morning

Lillie's are just opening up. We had to make a newspaper hat

Dual style!

I've let Mowg take the camera of late. Last night and this morning he had longer than usual unsupervised picture takin' time. Here's a sampling:

Mowg playing ring-around-the-rosies with imaginary friends.

"We all fall down! Let's do it again!"

Rain for the garden

Look it's RAINING!

Blissful coolness!

Do you ever find yourself reaching for something? And reaching and reaching and reaching? Lately for me it's been a way out of the summer doldrums. It seems that most people struggle to get through winter and I'm no exception. I don't know if it's just me on this one but by this hot time of summer I'm just not sure I'm going to make it. So how to step out of it. How to appreciate what's right now? I found this blog from the other side of the world with a handful of snow and some ice. It's quite refreshing. Need a little cooling?
