New Years Eve

 

In thinking back of all the

amazing blessings of 2013

I feel so very thankful

for this magical year

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the many things I am thankful for

is that I discovered the music of Krishna Das

and memorized the Hanuman Chalisa

 

That's why Steven gave me this

monkey mask for Christmas :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our belated Christmas present to each other

will be this dragon statue which

we will place out beside

the Sandalphon Circle

where our fountain is

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dragon Song

Sacred Dragon
Sing your love song
Fill the world with magic
We will sing along
Teach us how to look at everything
Through the eyes of mystery and joy
We are changing
We can fly
Breathe the fire of love
Love will never die
Dragon Beautiful
Dragon Luminous
Dragon Guardian
Love is singing us

 

 

We will be entering into the New Year

in just a few hours

 

 

 

 

I am excited to sing my love song in 2014

and fill my world with magic

looking at everything

through the eyes of mystery and joy

loving all the changes

breathing the fire of love 

into everything I do

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Love You

Fun Holidays

 

 

We had a very magical Solstice Day

 

 

First of all there was

a heart in the sunrise sky

Then all my kids and grandkids

came over to open Christmas presents

 

 

Steven and I had fun buying animals for presents this year

carved wooden turtle
malachite giraffe head
monkey hand grabber
solar powered waving cat
pyrite ammonite
butterfly sarong
raven puppet
frog box

then instead of putting names on the gift boxes we let
everyone draw a card to see what order to go in
for picking a present

Oona got the lowest number so she picked first and I was 
super thrilled when she picked the very present I would have chosen
for her then Faith went next and again I was super thrilled when she
got the very present I would have chosen to give to her!


Everyone got the perfect present!

Seth gave us each an animal mask

 
The funniest one was the horse mask he gave to Otis
and here's a very short video of Otis the horse
walking around on Remi's new stilts

 

 

 

On Christmas Eve Eve we saw

a real reindeer in Fort Collins

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Magical Holidays to You

MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HANNUKAH

and HAPPY NEW YEAR of the HORSE

I Love Trash

 

 

My husband Steven is quite amazing

in so many ways but one of my
favorite things about him is how
he can turn trash into treasures

Several years ago we took out all

the carpet in our upstairs and have
been enjoying the plywood floor

Okay maybe enjoying is not a good word,

but plywood has been much better that
old, smelly carpet, that's for sure

We planned to put laminate flooring down eventually

 

No hurry

 

One day when we were dumping a

pick-up load of trash at the landfill,
a guy pulled up next to us with a
pick-up load of laminate flooring

Steven asked him if we could have it

and he said sure so we loaded
it all into our pick-up

We ended up bringing home a bigger

load from the landfill than we
took to the landfill

And now finally years later we

have started putting our new floor
down and it looks really beautiful

Another treasure that my incredible husband

saved from the garbage is the laptop that
I am writing on this very minute

Someone had thrown it in the recycle bin because

it didn't work but Amazing Steven spent
hours fixing it and now it is my laptop
that I love so much

In fact I love it so much that I was very rarely

ever getting on the desktop anymore
so that will be going to a new home

I thought I needed the desktop to

paint my animal paintings on but the
laptop does just fine for that and I
don't even have to use a mouse

See?

 

 

Not only is my wonderful husband a miracle worker

for finding treasures in the trash but he also finds
incredible deals on Craig's list

Like our new electric fireplace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come on over

sit in front of the fireplace
and have a cup of vegan eggnog

Happy Holidays to You!

I Love You

Happy December New Moon

This is a happy new moon blog

because it's the new moon and

I haven't written on my blog for awhile

 

We had a fun Thanksgiving

 

Took our little RV named Antelope

up to Rocky Mountain National Park

and camped in Moraine Campground

with our angel fairy cat Koyuki

 

We had a wonderful dinner of

tofu turkey and all the traditional

Thanksgiving stuff vegan style

 

And we had Hanuman wine

 

Too much of it actually...

We drank the whole bottle!

It was wonderful to hear the

elk bugling all night long

 

 

And I had fun making this video

The next day we went to the Stanley and

did our first Christmas shopping in their gift store

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know how many years it's been

since we went shopping on Black Friday

but we sure had fun shopping in Estes Park

 

Especially since that was the first time

we have been there since the flood

 

Watching the parade was a great celebration because

we were so thankful that Hiway 34 is open and we 

can go up to our favorite place in the world again

 

I got the Christmas decorations out today and put them up

 

It didn't take me very long because I only have a few

 

I like for Christmas to be simple and I keep

looking for new ways to simplify

 

Happy New Moon to You

 

I Love You
