R.O.C.K. in the USA (flash mob)

Ok, so here's the link to our infamous flash mob..enjoy!

Independence Day

Us After the "Flash Mob" at the Park

It was a HOT day and I think I would have been okay skipping most of it. The "flash mob" ended up being more like an "obvious glob" and we clumped together in 100 degree temps and tried to dance together. Before the show we practiced and got the moves down and Aubri decided to join us. She was going to dance in between me and Emi and just mimic what we did. In the end, Emi decided to dance in the front row (i.e. bailed on us) and they changed the direction we were to dance and Aubri and I ended up towards the frontish and Aubri mostly just stared at the littlest girls. If this were on my Life List I could cross it off but it wasn't; it was just something I wanted to do with/for my girls. Will post a link once I get it from the Parks Department. Should be good for a laugh...

Hoo Boy!

the day started off nice with thunder and rain

so how did I know it would end in vain?

the big fat rain drops fell from the sky

flash mob practice tonight (oh WHY?)

why did I sign up to dance in a mob?

why did I think it'd be no prob?

try not to think about it instead

enjoy the raindrops falling on my head

drop off the kids and go to work

don't think about how you dance like a dork

Lavender Wands

English Lavender and Bananas

This weekend while I was checking on my recovering banana trees (that were thrashed in the hail storm a couple of weeks ago), I noticed how healthy my English Lavender plants were despite the heat. They are so pretty and fragrant and mesmerizing when watched poolside. I was thinking I should probably do something creative with my lavender this year. This morning in my in-box was a prompting from Peaceful Valley that included a video on how to make Lavender Wands! Pretty AND functional.... It's on the list to do in between the flash mob practices and yard work!
