The Princess and I set out on adventure this morning together....
We had free tickets to the Caspian movie courtesey of Dr. Cline the orthodontist, and while there was a wait it was overall a good show that we enjoyed.....
We live in a very small town (no actual town or even post office even... I saw a mail carrier in a pickup truck just yesterday with "mail dude" spray painted across the back). Our very small town is near a small town that we had never really explored before. So today we decided to take the opportunity to find out what all was here.
Quite frankly I was surprised at some of the boutiques and what they had to offer, even if overpriced, but mostly it just seemed very small. I think that we get so used to the mall mentality and the variety and size of everything that a small mill town just seems to be a small mill town.
I also don't get that they built the town... way back... around a railroad track and it still runs thru the center of the town....
It was such a beautiful day that the Princess and I went on an herb walk to gather more plantain and to see what we could find....
I think I found an elderberry tree near the wild cherry one I staked out last summer. The blackberries are flowering in massive amounts, and the air was permeated with the smell of honeysuckles....
I enjoy scented candles, but I've never liked honeysuckle ones as they were always not just right.... I think that today I realized it was like comparing nutrasweet to real honey... there's no comparison between the real and the fabricated.... |
