There are always little treats in this world that are available only to those who rise early enough to catch them before the magic fades away. Generally speaking, I'm one of those people that opt to miss the magic for an hour more sleep. But on this particular morning, I was happily going about my business at a time when most were still snug under their covers, and happened to cross paths with this little miracle...
The female deer dropped their babies late this year, so here I was just feet away from a fawn not even a whole day old, whose mother had dropped him in the camouflage of the mulch surrounding the farm garden. As I approached him, he made funny little whining sounds, but never attempted to get up.
Luckily, he was still there after retrieving my camera from the house, and after clicking a few shots, I ran in one more time to unload and check my pictures. When I went back out, his mama had come and scoffed him away to safety, so that was the end of that and it was back to business as usual!
Which in this case, meant traveling to Brimfield to peddle my wares and get myself just that much closer to the light of my life! After getting set up and settled in, we made the rest of the trip to visit with Melanie, Steve, and Celia...
Oh, yeah...and Teddy.
and as usual, it was nonstop action, now that someone has legs long enough for climbing!
She went this way and that way...
It took a little bit of jockeying around...
...a little bit of balancing...
but eventually,
she was right where she intended to be.
Pride is a wonderful thing.
Especially on the face of a one year old!
Look, Ma! No hands!
No...I said MA...
...who I just flip over!
Right, Dad?
Right, Kapuna?
Right, Nana?
All I need is my bunny hat...
...and a hug from Mom...
...who is happy to oblige.
What's this here...
Aha, paper...
Are you noticing that I am totally oblivious to wearing this ridiculous hat?
I'm just enjoying life as it comes at me.
Back at Brimfield, opening day at New England Motel was on July 10th, and we were ready to roll.
Unfortunately, there were not the usual crowds at the gate, and it was just an all around slow show.
I guess people are more concerned with how they're going to heat their homes this winter than with decorating them.
But for this very reason,
I got to spend more time with Celia.
We did lunch...
and then prepared to go shopping.
Do you have everything?
Goggies....check. Hat....check.
Oh, darn! My purse!
Let's go!
What's keeping you, Nana?
I'm ready to get out there...
and do some serious shopping damage.
At the end of a delightful day, it was goodbye's for Kapuna...
...a couple of giggles with Kapuna...
...and a big, smoochy kiss!
Adios!
