hidden wonders

what a great Friday we had! after story time at the library we met some good friends and shared a picnic in the back of her Volvo while enjoying the blue sky view above the turbulent coastline in Trinidad...we even enjoyed some delish hot cocoa. ya know, living here makes me feel like a suncatcher: someone who chases the sun, and when it warms my skin i feel like a million bucks. soon the littles created some sort of game and began to trek out to the sand...some sun, driftwood sword sparring, letter writing and all this in January?!? how lucky! we were about as far as we could have been from the car when a few sprinkles of rain tickled my nose...oh sure, lets head back before it starts to rain...or hail! hail bounced up at us as hard as it was falling on out back...laughing, the girls and I slowly trudged back to the car and peeled off the soaked clothing, turned on the heater, and read library books. Then we drove a little south to a beautiful trail walk that led straight to the sea. lots of running and fairy spotting, for it was sunny the whole way... and I truly love these adventures because when the children are busy expanding in nature the mamas get to share great uninterrupted (well mostly) conversation. weather forecast today was rain all day... we went out anyway and were pleasantly surprised!
