the forest friends
tiny gray and big ole trees
pum riding in the front pack
a quick snack
the happiest campersso yesterday was wonderful and busy and full...spending the good part of the day in the forest, teaching the kiddies about ferns and moss and butterflies, throwing stones into a pond, watching ducks, and walking endlessly. my new favorite place...the bird sanctuary in andover at phillips. my dad is heartbroken that i don't remember going there as an infant. but i do know that this place had great vibes and i'll be going back again and again.
more good news...boo just called and told me that they cleaned his hot tub! i CAN go soaking now!
we're leaving tonight and we'll be gone until saturday. no email, no bloggies...just the sun and kites and brown paper bags filled with food. i went to the store today to buy snacks for the road trip (anyone who knows me is laughing right now...i have a snack-packing problem)- and i ended up spending $40. oops. i'm a snackaholic! we've got enough nuts and berries to power us through for weeks.
have a great couple of days everyone! sending you sage-burnin' love.

ps. on the way to the forest...we were driving on the highway and gray said the most saddest thing i've ever heard: "mama...look...a light forest! a forest of lights!" she saw the endlessendless row of lights lining the highway and thought it was a frickin' forest. i gave that girl a huge dose of real forest after that!

I want to go "nature hiking" I love those little foot steps through the forest. And the "light-forest" is to good.
