Summer Day Adventure

Summer day adventures
you just never know what can happen
we were driving down the road
when I heard beep beep beeep............
and I look out and it was a dear friend next to me
(but she had chased me trying to catch me)
sorry stephanie I didnt see you sooner
so some quick thinking
and we found this beautiful park
and the children had a really good play





Then for the next plan of the day
camper looking........






And of course I fell in love with an old coaster
I was looking for a mechanically good van
but this coaster had charm ,an earthy feel
not like all the modern well equipped campers
hay we are looking for adventure not driving around
in a modern flat I do hesitate because the camper is old
(mechanical problems sure to follow)
so on we go.............but leaving with a sense of adventure
in our spirits as visions of being on the road and close to nature
flood my mind..........


The sea
My beloved sea
rocks beneath my feet
wind blowing my hair
ocean smells so alive
waves rolling in
water lapping against the shore
sunshine beaming down
my wildwoman has found her place
as I hear the calling
touching my soul
come and be close to me
nature I am wild and free
pulsing with life itself















Home we arrive
with the moon shinning bright
Goodnight as we fall asleep )*(

Sandcastle Making

Circletime song

Build a sandcastle to the sky
make a moat
so when the waves roll by
the castle will stand
with it`s sandy wall
my castle, my castle.

Sandcastle Painting

One day a little boy
came down to the golden sand
and he started to build a sand castle
which reached tall into the sky
the waves kept rolling in
and the sandcastle slowly disappeared
back into the sand.................

Morning Circletime songs

the sea`s song is in this shell
hold it up to your ear

Swish-shoo-ooh

is from the silvery sea
where the waves roll in
wild and free
swish-shoo-ooh

beachcombing along
the water`s edge
look! lokk at what I have found
seashells,smooth glass,feathers
driftwood and rocks
special treasures from the ocean
thankyou for my gifts
