how wonderful to share such a special day
with someone i’ve known since she was born
so happy and loved.

flip.
when you’ve had a very long and busy week
and you get a text that reads:
“great news! your adult pinata headband has been delivered.”
and just like that
your world flips and rights itself in an instant.

coming back.
after having such a wonderful time celebrating with family
it’s nice to be home
even if
i did have a late night
and an early morning flight to get here
but i’m still standing.
kind of.

ride along.
stopping for an oil change
on my way home from school
the tech went to open my hood
pausing to tell me
i had a ‘little friend’ traveling along with me
a praying mantis
who had hunkered down and hung on just below my windshield
he very carefully opened the hood
the mantis hopped up on the windshield wiper
hung out while my oil was changed
just taking it all in
other people came over to check him out
still he held his ground
the tech carefully closed the hood when finished
trying to very gently coax the mantis to go back to his safe spot
before i drove off
but the mantis would not be deterred
hung on as i drove to the book store
then i drove toward home
with my very special hood ornament
my ride along
even still hanging on
gone when i got home
perhaps he hopped off
stopping to visit a town along the way
i hope it was the adventure of a lifetime.

long weekend.
on the long weekend
some of everything
sharing a spaghetti dinner with family
relaxing with friends at the lake
by the fire
waking up to a morning moon
a visit to the renaissance festival
cavorting with royalty, vikings, faerie folk, gnomes, jesters, magicians, musicians, artisans, knights, peasants, horses, dogs, dancers, warriors, barbarians, huns, lords and ladies…
and on the third day, she rested.
“on a long weekend, the possibilities are endless,
and we have the freedom to do as much or as little as we please.”

enthusiasm.
found these two hanging out amidst the clover
seven+ months until st. patrick’s day
they started celebrating a bit early
while they look a little worn
it doesn’t seem to matter.

new paths.
some paths just wait to be discovered

because we are curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
