happy birthday mama earth



everyday you birth again. another chance to recreate ourselves. this day in your own cosmic way you gave me my vacation. i thank you.
this morning we found this little one knocking itself silly in the greenhouse. she let us hold her. we brought her in. we made a box with water and some plain cereal. after an hour she recovered enough to fly outside again. thanks be. i don't know how to nurse a bird...
earth day festivities were on full swing at the park. vendors of fun earthy crunchy stuffs. a guatamalan hammock i fell in love with. a maypole made out of a nice tall centrey cactus. a friend selling homemade lemonade and for an extra dollar a shot from a bottle of tequila in an ice chest. the clothing exchange. bring what you want - take what you want. i got some nice new duds... i love this town! i'm happy to have woken up today.

chris -yep that's my view. in a month my view will be a bit different. i keep telling myself different is GOOD... maybe i'll have to start posting more land shots. anyway - welcome. no jealousy allowed though. such a nasty lil trait.

Kate5 - i didn't even mention the belly dancers... :)

Just curious-why will your view change? I think I would sit right there for the rest of my life :) Chris

the view will change. yes. my folks have lovin'ly lent us this one for the past few years. now they retire and will take over. we are heading out about ten miles. mountain view in exchange for view OF the mtns... i'll post some more photos soon - but just for fun - browse back into the archives abit. "this land is our land" has a glimpse of the new place. we'll be living it up in a bus for a time while we build us a yurt.
