big trees, small girl

 








Nothing could be better for the soul than a wander through the forest in the summer rain.
If only I could bottle the scent of freshly sprinkled leaves and dab it behind my ears on days when I'm blue!

The forest was abuzz with nature doing her thang~ dragonflies helicoptered, lily pads floated, green things grew  and the pine trees canopied way up above.
I felt like a very small girl in a big old beautiful world.

I collected sticks and counted crow feathers and listened to wild tales of Irish wildflowers and moss and wood-fern from my hiking buddy.

It's fun to be an explorer, to breath easy in the forest and get my toes wet and not care an inch. 
I hope you've enjoyed a little summer rainfall where you are, it's not too shabby at all!

Hitch your wagon to Stars in Jars!!
