rapidan, virginia

i am sitting here at my godmother skye's house in a big field in rapidan, virginia. she lives at the end of a dirt road. its quiet here and beautiful.  i can only hear the sounds of the frogs singing down by the river and the sounds of the cows in the field chewing and mooing.  it's peaceful and calming.

my god-mother has always had special animal friends who live with her.  these are the two friends she has now.

these animals are sweet and very intelligent, they protect skye and keep her company.  i got to snuggle with tian in this amazing comfy bed!

i have been here at my dear god-mothers house in rapidan for 3 1/2 weeks and its been a good time.  

i have enjoyed going out in the mornings with my headphones and my sneakers on to go singing and dancing down the dirt road, to the astonishment of the cows!  i have enjoyed sitting on the front porch with skye listening to her interesting stories of her earth life and her spiritual life. i am glad i was able to help her get some things done here on her homestead.  i enjoyed cooking up yummy healthy food and using skye's juicer to make carrot juice....aaahh, it was a great visit full of lots of work and lots of play and i am sure i will be back some day!
