Rainy Day Mushrooms

This afternoon I was outside belly dancing between rainclouds when I noticed something.  Big fluffy mushrooms were sprouting up in my witches circle. It was like a fairy ring come true. They are shaped like rockets as they push through the sand. Then they open up rather like a beach umbrella. It is one of the things I never expected to see in the Mojave desert.

Today I also saw quail. My friend was over and he saw a chipmunk. It poured a few times today and then the sun would come out. So I grabbed a veil and did some low impact dancing. My ankle is getting better but I sure don't want to re-injure it so easy does it.

See you soon. Thanks for following.

I love my blue veil.

Good arm exercise.

Loving myself just the way I am.

Surprise! Mushrooms!

Pushing through the soft sand.

Fairy door?

Like a fairy garden in the sand.

Starry Skyclad Summer Night

Lately I've just wanted to go outside at night skyclad and look at the stars.  Tonight I saw 3 shooting stars. There is a cricket singing his little heart out somewhere out there. The moon is dark so I could see the milky way sprawling across the sky.

Today I worked on an original embroidery of 3 owls overlooking a village. It made me think of how special owls are and how rarely I see them. I also had a roadrunner in my yard today. He was frantically darting around. I wonder if he was catching bugs

It is late my darlings so off to bed I go.
