Down to Basic's, Little House on the Horizon: 5/31/09

Our little baby blessings . . . Can you see it?

Our day started with a special guest. Every morning we go out and look at our gardens. This morning was special we had a guest. Can you see him?

There he is? We are not sure what kind of bird he is. He looks like a Mockingbird or Robin maybe, but he is a baby. He sat on Jazzy head. Ate out on Jerry, well he tried to eat. Jerry gave him some sausage and for some reason he refused! He ate out of my hand and Jazzy too. We don't have chickens, that we want yet, but we do have a bird that no one else can say they do.

The kids have named him Boy!

Here is is Jazzy is touching him.

Here he is King of our yard!

Farmer's Market our Saturday

Here are a few of our favorite people at the farmer's market. This is the Lavender lady. Jazzy loves her. He stayed there and chatted and chatted the whole time!

New Moon Farms.

Another favorite of ours. We have some tomatoes plants from her and they are slowly growing. CAn't wait to get some wheat-free bread and have a BLT! Yum Yum Yum!!

Oh! who could this be! Now! I'm impressed! I think I may hook up with this one!!!!

Our friends sons.

Clouds, I see a . . . . .

The clouds were so beautiful! Breathtaking! Amazing and Beautiful! All around us is beauty. I have had blinders on ,to the huge amount of beauty in my world. I use to see it, but I never fully. I was so often in the car, that I didn't take the time. Rushing from one place to another never really seeing the breathtaking beauty around me.

Taking life for grant it, we humans do and I use to think if I could just see what I truly have and be grateful than I wouldn't take things or people in my life for grant it, but I have realized that we can not possibly take in all the beauty, blessings and miracles that we are given each day. To just think for a moment of it all is insurmountable, too huge to comprehend. I am grateful for all I can comprehend!

Looking up at this one I felt like the greatness of the Universe opened up and showered me with blessings.

Cloudy days give us the chance to be a kid again and dream, what we could be, what we can do and what we can become!

"Dude. what's up with the pants?" , "Are they on backwards?", "Yep!"," Why?", "Cause!"

"I peed! ", "You peed? Where?", "In the garden, Daddy, said the garden needs Nightgin!"

The look of cuteness!

Tara, my DQ Faery Princess

Who could it be? Who's that kitty, dances freely, full of life?

Well, of course, it's our Faery Princess Tarasoulfia Sadtye Th0mas! Sweet, Adorable and the queen of drama. Our little actress, model, and dancer!

This is our yard/farm after the rainy days we had. This little pond here has these teeny tiny shrimp like things that have transplanted themselves here. I went out day 2 and they were growing and changing at a rapid rate. Got to thinking . . . .. Ok! they aren't tadpoles, not shrimp, what could these little critters be .. . .. . MOSQUITOES!!!!

More of those little critters

Our little stream, in here lived a bright green frog. I was just sitting, sort of a meditative sit and all of a sudden this frog hop up. I was so excited I scream, YES! I haven't seen him since!

I love this picture. The Yarrow looks so pretty falling in the water.

The life of Gus

Adventurous, Daring, Determined, that's my son, August, but must it result in injury! Jazzy wants to help. Not sure Mr. Dino will be much help. Gus thinks not!

Upset and angry! Poor kid! His elbow is huge! Shoulder twisted. Pain!

Day 2 of another painful adventurous, daring and determined boy! now, he has walking issues. Think his toe is broken! What's next!

Nothing like a little brother to make life a bit better! Jazzy says, Your my hero, Gussy!

Lavender in my Garden

This is my lavender. It's coming along, the rain harmed a bit of it. This year I have learned that plants are strong and if you stick with tender loving care, you will see them flourish. Guess we all are the same when you get down to the core of all things. We all are a call To be loved and cared for.

Friday, we hung out in the back yard still had a swamp out in our back yard, but the girls and Jazzy made their own fun. We clean up the garage, where the kids toys live and they haven't stopped playing with this toy.
Here is my sweet daughter, Autumne writing me a message. She is such a sweety! I hope everyone has a sweety like her!
