Washington state was purple, maybe it was all the beautiful flowers planted by my older sister, or because I love purple. Florida is blue, blue because the water and sky were so light, white sandy beaches surrounding the blue ocean which were near our home. England is green, no matter what time of year green is the beautiful backdrop of that island I love so. Missouri (St. Louis) is red, red because though I usually won't wear or buy red things, red are my special visitors that come to our garden and red are the beautiful colors the leaves turn in the Fall. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxokEW_ykuk6l6ZUdgMb0gqHQ9ZLSAL5IogElTC9I-5JrRKh16AzQa5HlFbmr6t9RqOpqBNyo3aOGxD8ycED4lmXNZCWwMvu5P8xUOGS52J0SWutzF9ATqhToj0biaws2o24mIHbgMM2Po/s1814/IMG_0289.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1209" data-original-width="1814" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxokEW_ykuk6l6ZUdgMb0gqHQ9ZLSAL5IogElTC9I-5JrRKh16AzQa5HlFbmr6t9RqOpqBNyo3aOGxD8ycED4lmXNZCWwMvu5P8xUOGS52J0SWutzF9ATqhToj0biaws2o24mIHbgMM2Po/w640-h426/IMG_0289.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Like red bullets with our green backdrop, the cardinal is the star of the show every day in our Chesterfield home.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmeerUjXr9pcNMhexa949eyc9Ciwnwkj-ZRUdhrN8faNEdfFIQG_2hE0RqXVufBgP4n3XKKmPWIIeMIPjyLjmuILe3jYRn6KPuIVB8J83lyTYwBPPkgTsFSmC7CiPMHC8uRZ7SDfVPin1/s2048/IMG_0338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwmeerUjXr9pcNMhexa949eyc9Ciwnwkj-ZRUdhrN8faNEdfFIQG_2hE0RqXVufBgP4n3XKKmPWIIeMIPjyLjmuILe3jYRn6KPuIVB8J83lyTYwBPPkgTsFSmC7CiPMHC8uRZ7SDfVPin1/w640-h426/IMG_0338.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I'm not sure how, but everyone squirrel we call Squirrel Nutkin.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvaTN1t9p_jRU934atk9HHqmTzm51I_BsOXCaSDK_rHHo5fE3BtyTw0u-xqq8PdgSl7P0R6T9TIaw3dK8z1dWUBJj-QG3Lz5ghaejk7bXa5vsUsTJ8AwRAnLpIvqMu8HoqxllPwcELXKr4/s1933/IMG_0495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1289" data-original-width="1933" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvaTN1t9p_jRU934atk9HHqmTzm51I_BsOXCaSDK_rHHo5fE3BtyTw0u-xqq8PdgSl7P0R6T9TIaw3dK8z1dWUBJj-QG3Lz5ghaejk7bXa5vsUsTJ8AwRAnLpIvqMu8HoqxllPwcELXKr4/w640-h426/IMG_0495.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_veLytn5pL6SJzKwzT8haxUTH1qGzSvs3poYaQqwjfLb_1VdNh92bdeqi5i9wPgox4_PODVWK2naGvGu9hFe0MJkLKkZgsckWSggoLnYCAJTa8vy7wC1BW_y4g0XsetJJCtSnHjWQSJi/s2048/IMG_0675.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_veLytn5pL6SJzKwzT8haxUTH1qGzSvs3poYaQqwjfLb_1VdNh92bdeqi5i9wPgox4_PODVWK2naGvGu9hFe0MJkLKkZgsckWSggoLnYCAJTa8vy7wC1BW_y4g0XsetJJCtSnHjWQSJi/w426-h640/IMG_0675.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTDh9eVNHoPdHwWIFFxwctPy9G0QozpYSm7QiXuLRG5MVqgfzrOtg_lWLEgaSiJXHEXzpR-LLhRtXrqWRqOGP4qaqUcJl3M5qlpxQX5w8GsRVNQCpLjkEFJ0futlce_m4YpyNx5a7I2q5/s2048/IMG_0704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTDh9eVNHoPdHwWIFFxwctPy9G0QozpYSm7QiXuLRG5MVqgfzrOtg_lWLEgaSiJXHEXzpR-LLhRtXrqWRqOGP4qaqUcJl3M5qlpxQX5w8GsRVNQCpLjkEFJ0futlce_m4YpyNx5a7I2q5/w640-h426/IMG_0704.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxGDjR-PiTLscnc5mWnPBUzNltEBKM2Mkx4sB42azpaOgPalu4lEwexRYGKwNiOg1uBWbJfRonG8WwajVLNieU4w8OOLVLt7xWos8B97KZBFRLjYEmZSFXhLnBRtsITulJpewFQ4jYiVtI/s2048/IMG_0731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxGDjR-PiTLscnc5mWnPBUzNltEBKM2Mkx4sB42azpaOgPalu4lEwexRYGKwNiOg1uBWbJfRonG8WwajVLNieU4w8OOLVLt7xWos8B97KZBFRLjYEmZSFXhLnBRtsITulJpewFQ4jYiVtI/w640-h426/IMG_0731.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>V.

Those years were an incredible adventure and highlight for our family. To celebrate summer birthday's, additionally 11-year-old S. has read the Harry Potter book series 12 times, we celebrated with a magical birthday. My friend Andrea was so clever and creative with her daughter's H.P. party last year, she was very generous in allowing us to borrow some of her amazing props & ideas. Between those things and bits and bobs we found whilst living in England, the party was a success. <br />

2. Looking out to see deer jump into and out of our garden, so graceful and quick. We are getting smarter, although they are fun to watch they are distructive to our garden, we are finally adding a fence to our veggie & strawberry garden in the back, no more snacks for you!<br>

I created this *The Best of Italy & Greece* Itinerary that started in Athens, island hopping to Hydra, flight into Venice, cutting through Tuscany (Cinque Terre & Pisa) by train, Rome, Naples and ending in Pompeii. This was the start of an amazing 10 day adventure.
<br />
We packed minimally, and were able to fit everything in a backpack and one camera bag.<br />

This little green eyed cat was wanting some of my lunch, quietly begging in Greek. After I shared some of it he then took a nap right behind me, which made me feel like I couldn't move a muscle as he relaxed on the stones to the Acropolis. My flight came in before Colleen's, so I was able to scout out by foot exactly what to do to make the most of the rest of our travel day. I was so excited to be back in Greece and content to just soak up everything Greek.<br />

The Acropolis ("high city") is a citadel of ancient ruins that date all the way back to the 5th century B.C. It is amazing to see the Acropolis today, one can only imagine how striking it would have been 2,500 years ago. The Parthenon, the finest temple in the ancient world.<br />

When it comes to having that as a responsibility, it just hasn't fit with our travel and adventure lifestyle.<br />
Since moving to St. Louis, however, we have fallen in love with an animal, the cardinals. The kids take this job very, very seriously. They clean out the bird bath every other day, we've researched exactly what seed to buy to attract this specific bird, and I'd like to say it feels like we have the perfect budget/travel friendly pet. Best of all, I don't have to clean up after them in the house (they do get a bit messy outside), no vet bills or that big of a responsibility. It's a win win!<br />
We first saw the female cardinal all alone in the bird bath when the brilliantly colored red cardinal arrives. She leaves shortly after. "Don't mind if I do!"

I got to meet this happy Senior bright and early this morning. Spring is in full swing, he was excellent company and a real treat to photograph! The future is bright and full of promise, and I know this Senior is ready to make a difference. You're pretty much awesome, Mr. Z.!<br>

There are still moments that will just hit me and make me cry for that technicolored, majestic island. My little E. had a field trip to the Botanical Gardens and as we walked around enjoying the Spring weather of the Midwest, I was struck with emotion as I saw a patch of bluebells. They are peculiar, not exactly like the ones we had in England, but non the less it made me feel happy to see them then I was swept with a pure emotion of longing and sadness.<br />

I can't begin to express my love for Christmas. It makes me want to do more, give more and love more. I get teary eyed hearing spiritual Christmas songs and wonder if I was one of those angles who got to sing at Christ's birth, proclaiming the wonderful good tidings, CHRIST IS BORN!<br />
We found this little nativity box in England, I think it's one of my favorite things we put out during this special time.V. Murray Shockleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15068949798465381794noreply@blogger.com0
