well the year is winding down and summer is right around the corner, sure feels strange to be moving so fast. my plate is overflowing with events and i just keep adding more to it. need to slow down!! my two camp fire groups have final meetings soon, then we take a break until day camp in august. can't wait to get in to my garage and really gut it out, get organized for next year's meetings, so many ideas so much to do! i will be running both groups at day camp this year, with lots of parental help. i want to make it fun and interesting for the girls who have been going for 4 years now. one idea i have is to make lip balm and bath salts using high quality ingredients, warming them over the fire and gathering flowers to decorate. maybe make candles too, using the flowers to decorate. we have a fabulous native california garden at the front of the council, i have been gathering seeds there for weeks now. the girls have taken a tour of it and the lady who takes care of it gives talks about how the indians used each plant. very interesting and i have been inspired to create a small native garden at my house. we have milkweed (to attract monarch butterflies) and white sage (which smells divine and is a gorgeous plant). the more i read up on native plants, the more interesting they become. i am completely addicted to california poppies. the seed bombs we made in our kinder group have been thrown all over town, hoping to see some of them blooming next year. i have heard that they need to be sown in the fall so i have held back a bunch to toss in sept-october.
i am so happy to be able to continue our relationship with "the potential lunatics" and their "world tour" ha ha! what a refreshing fun family! the girls attended an acoustic concert at a local coffee shop, staying up until 10pm, what a treat.
i was happy that one of our camp fire families joined in as well
these images are all from chris' phone soooooo not so hot
but you get the idea. well today is my own guitar lesson, coming right along with that although it is HARD HARD HARD!! i suck so bad but would be really disappointed in myself if i didnt conquer this mountain. chipping away at it!
happy sunday to you!
