Lena Rocks

We recently discovered that there is a place where you can rent canoes for the day to go by yourself down the Edisto river so one day this week we went.  It was the most amazing day… very easy to find your peace on the river and it’s a very romantic thing to do with your loved one – as long as the helicopters stay away   So annoying when they disturb the peace… and there were even two different ones.

The river is fast enough to not even have to paddle and next time I do it I will bring my good camera and hope that the sun is out.  The place is a huge wildlife reserve and there is a lot of wildlife to look at.  The turtles are a little shy and will jump into the water when they hear you coming so you have to sneak up on them   I did manage to get a picture of one…  There are supposedly alligators there as well but we didn’t see any.

So Mamacat managed to get herself knocked up before we could take her to the vet and we now have a fresh batch of kittens… I guess she figured we liked the last ones so much that she would make more   This time I got to be there and she seemed to really enjoy my company.  I was pretty amazed at the birth since she was so in control of the whole process and so blissfully happy the whole time   She would pop one out, clean it up, clean herself up, let the kitten get settled and then pop another one out, purring and stretching happily the whole time.

They are now three weeks old and have recently opened their eyes.  I took some pictures since there are a couple of people who wanted to see what they look like.  They are starting to toddle around in the box but don’t really have that much body control yet… but are getting stronger every day.  Right now they seem to be practicing – sitting… and they are getting pretty good at it

Having kittens in the house is such a joy since there is always cuteness, learning and play going on and I can sit there and watch them forever…

It is so much more interesting to eat food when it has been prepared with love…

These are some of the meals I have been lucky enough to share with good friends.

There is this most amazing little miraculous thing that happens in nature between tomato plants and this one worm who likes to eat them…

The worm will find a tomato plant and start eating it… The tomato will then put out a distress signal that it is being eaten by worms which attracts this particular kind of fly.  This fly will lay their eggs in these holes on the worms back and once they turn into larvae and get bigger they actually start eating the worm… which then ends up dying… being host to new flies, who fly looking for tomatoes calling them.

Incredible stuff…

Being close to water is one of the most helpful ways of finding peace…

Gifting has taken me interesting places I might not otherwise have visited.  It has even made me research many things and learn more/pay more attention about the places visited than I normally used to.  Some of these pictures show places with very interesting energy…

It’s easy to see beautiful things when you look – it’s really everywhere.

Sometimes you go outside and say hello to some interesting friends.

Sometimes visuals are clearer than words…  This is me honoring the natural symbolism in nature
