Today was just all-around wonderful. I caught up on some much-needed sleep. The weather was New-England perfect, a little crisp and a lot sunny, and J and I were both home to enjoy it instead of at work.My new neti pot and salt bowl arrived in the mail and they're both lovely.
Gaura Vani left a sweet comment on my Chantfest post. This regressed me back to being about 10 years old for several minutes. Blogging is a God-send to shy people like myself, honestly.
For the second week in a row I remembered that it's Free Music Friday at SpiritVoyage.com, and as I was listening to my free download, Hanuman 2 by Girish, I read on Facebook that Krishna Das is coming back to the Zen Peacemaker's Retreat in Montague on Monday August 9th and managed to get 2 tickets. Sweet!
I spent time sitting in the yard, basking in the sun, sketching, painting, and simply enjoying the process.
J and I brought a picnic lunch to our friend's farm when we stopped by to pick up their dog, Sadie (here she is stuffed into the travel crate with Vixen)...
And while there we visited (briefly) with the baby robins who live in a small apple tree that grows beside the cow pasture...
Back at home I rescued this terrified wood frog from the cat and transported him to safety...
And found a Luna moth, dead but perfectly preserved, on our late-day walk through the woods. It seems I'm always hiking back home with something...
We also found out what a tree's heart looks like...
Tonight there will be fresh corn for dinner and thanks to Christina at Soul Aperture and her irresistible photos, coffee ice cream sandwiches made with chocolate chip cookies for dessert.What was the highlight of your day today?

I've saved many a wood frog from the jaws of Sir Pasha.... they squawk like hell when he prances around with one dangling from his mouth by one leg... fortunately, they seem to bounce back OK as they leap off into the ferns for cover. Unlike the mice I find strewn across the lawn, the wood frogs seem to always get away - with my help or on their own, I;ve never found one lying with the dead mice.
Yes, beautiful weather today! Glad you were home and got to enjoy it - and welcome to the luna moth club!
Highlight of my day? Got to give Reiki to someone other than myself for the first time in over a year. No hesitation, it just turned on and started flowing. This amazing universe blows me away every day.
Nice pictures, lady! :) Glad you had a good Friday.
what a perfectly wonderful day...the kind you read about in books you don't want to put down...and that image of the luna moth and your mendi hand is amazing...so lovely! I'm glad I came here this morning. I am sure the rest of the holiday weekend will be equally as wonderful.smooches!
Oh WOW, that does seem like the perfect day. Love the moth pic with your henna hand and the tree's heart. What a fun surprise.
Oh and of course the doggies!
You always make me smile.
