I've been feeling a bit scattered. Treading water takes a lot of energy, but sometimes you can throw your arms out and just let your legs go,  stop moving and you float. You notice the sun and the coolness of the water. It's such a beautiful day. A leaf detaches and glides slowly, slowly, to the ground and for that moment you are the leaf.  I laugh and breathe and take it all in. Just be.  Researching Etsy.com . Anyone ever heard of it? Looks pretty great to me so far!  Be clean, brush your teeth, and de-clutter!

Went walking on a nature trail about 10 minutes from the house and found these little gems. I posted a couple more on the flickr page, best are here. Extremely excited about the fair.
