i had this amazing experience when we were camping that i forgot to blog about. it was dusk and alex had gone to take a shower, so i was at the camp on the lake on my own. i was watching the sunset and for some reason i turned away from the sun and looked back at the campsite. this picture attempts to capture what i saw, but only towards the end when i rushed to grab the camera before the light faded. it was truly magestic, awesome, amazing. the wind was whipping through the trees but it was silent, and the trees and bushes were shaking. but in this light, it was as if this were an audience of worshippers, humble servants, exaulting their sun god, unable to contain their excitement for this precise moment - whispering and laughing in nervous anticipation. it was absolutely amazing and i wish i could even convey what it felt like to see such a spectacle. i felt like i was intruding on nature, invading the private space of their nervous energy. very very cool. and here was the sunset that followed.
a big thank you to my grama who sent me a huge bouquet of flowers for an early birthday treat and a tub of chocolate covered party mix to share with the office (which is now gone by the way!)

Meag;
you have captured the love of mother nature as I have ,and my ancesters,,now you now why it is so relaxing to work in my yard and especially MY PARK,,,plus all the hundreds of people I have made happy with it,from the little ones who come to see the different seasonal changes with the patriotic themes,the easter eggs,summer flowers,fall scenes/with the 40 to 50 pumpkins,corn stalks,,ending with white twinkle lights and deers with big red bows around their necks,,this year I am adding two more to the deer family,,hopefully mother nature will again provide a white blanket of snow for me,to see the elderly folks across the street at the nursing home watch
from their windows and wave the sign of approval,,or the youngster stand at the fence and count the easter eggs,,pumpkins,,etc. that is gratification for all my aches and pains,,for the digging and planting,Meagan I'm so happy god did not give you my body ,,,heaven forbid 4'10",,,I considerate myself lucky to be in your class for love of mother nature..
Love you
gramma
