Our trip to Loulou's House (just Saila and I went)

Shadow with a sparkle in his eye!

This weekend Saila and I went to Loulou's house to visit her
and Paul. We had a good, relaxing time. While we were there
we went to the Ocean and visited tide pools with hermit crabs,
went for a beautiful walk thru the forest, and visited an old, old
cemetery. The walk in the woods was completely magical!! It was
June 25th- four days after the Summer Solstice, when the faery
world comes closest to ours and there are many doors. We could
feel the magic all thru the trees and it even scared Saila a little.
I also want to point out all the ghost orbs in the pictures!! Most
of the pictures do not have them but a lot do- ESPECIALLY when
we were walking thru the cemetery!!

The view of Marylou's back side yard area- beyond
the wooden fence is the creek.

Isn't her house beautiful?

Saila, all packed and ready for the Ocean

The walk in the woods

The flash ruined the shadows and dark
hidden places of the roots from the fallen
trees. Saila was really spooked at one point because
she said she saw glowing eyes looking back
at her from a dark hole in some roots. We told
her she was Lucky to have seen that!

A close up of a tangled web lair

Glowing eyes on Shadow!!
(from the flash of course!!)

Notice: no orbs- just beauty

No orbs here either- just a spooky door in
a hill, home to..........?

Saila was talking to the faeries here and they
were listening....

A SUPER old cemetery in Santa Cruz

All along these stairs there was evidence of
dripping wax from white candles that had
been burned.

Then, all of a sudden- a swarm of orbs!!

I took this picture because without the flash, the
flowers looked really pretty lying there (no orbs).

I clicked this next and look at all of them around
the grave stones!!

I then took a picture of a (troll) path going
off of the cemetery steps... (no orbs).

Loulou walking Shadow (there is an
orb on her- it looks like the same size orb in
another picture later on....)

Loulou and Saila (look at the super bright
orb on Saila and floating around them!)

My gorgeous Darling Daughter!

I didn't really want to turn this whole post into a ghost
type thing. I do believe in Spirit and it was interesting
to see so many in the cemetery. I just thot it was neat
when I looked at the pictures at home, there was all this
evidence that went right along with the sort of "we are not
alone here" feeling that we all had. Whether you believe of
think it's just a dusty lens is on you, but take a closer look
and see if you feel just a little chill creeping up your spine!!

The End of Spring is Near

We were at a thrift store and she tried this veil on
and I just happened to LUCKILY have my camera
on hand!

This is also the little birdie that she brot from home.
It's a Red-Winged Black Bird and it used to sing too!!

At the hill with Sadie and Shadow in her princess dress!

There are tons of different late Spring flowers out
on the hills- different from the early Spring flowers.

Another day at the hill with her Belle doll

Teeny white daisy-like flowers grow in waves

Mustard is everywhere!

Hunting for grasshoppers

Sadie and Shadow playing

Monkey-face flowers!

Yay!! Gotcha Sadie! She is camera shy but I
finally caught her admiring the view!!

Lovely Lake Chabot

These flowers are gorgeous!! I don't know what
they are but they grow in little hints at the very
tops of the hills.
Johnny is in Florida with his dad right now. I MISS
you, Johnny and I love you! You can look at our
blog to see what we've been up to! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Saila's Ballet Recital

Saila loves ballet- this is before the recital
and she still needed to put her ballet shoes on.

Stretching with the girls

She was so proud that she got to dance on stage!!

Miss Barbara and girls!
