Counting the magic

Today is a beautiful day. Last night was a beautiful night. The moon was full in the sky almost all the night through. Inside our vardo, that's what our wagon home is called by the Romani. "Vardo" in their language means 'rose' ... I like thinking of our wagon as a rose on two wheels.

Today the air is clean, and breathing in feels sweet. My nose and my lungs say, "ah, love it!" I went to visit the four goats today. They love to eat. They eat almost anything. Banana peels are one of their favorites, but we have to remember to peel of the sticky labels on the peel. Goats cannot digest labels, it will make them feel bad. So we remember to take the peels off after we eat the fruit.

Here is a little video of my first feeding of our food scraps to the four goats. I count this as magic. Everyday there's magic, if you look at it that way.

The goat's names are: Quartz, Princess Lea, Cookie and Queen Anne.

Keeping track, and cookin' good stuff

Hello Little Frog, Your Two Tutus, and your Mom and Dad are busy doing things human people do. This picture (above) is a big pot of Chicken Adobo going into Jude's Crockpot for dinner later today. That's me, your Tutu Lady, masked up, because I'm cooking for sharing with our friends. A whole pan of sliced onions with garlic got browned up yummy before putting them into the Crockpot filled with chicken (Tutu Pete did all the chopping up of the whole chicken) marinating in apple cider vinegar, Bay Leaves, coconut palm sugar, Coconut Aminos and Mushroom broth. I'm putting in the ingredients so one day, maybe, you'll want to cook a Crockpot of Chicken Adobo. Yes!! I hope I'm still around to eat that with you. 😎😎😎😎😎 AND LOOK !! There you are, growing and growing in your private ocean. Soon the wave will have your name on it so get ready on your surfboard Brudda. xoxo Your Daddy was busy making bread. He's working 'off-island' ... that means he gets ...

Seeing one thing, and remembering another

Hello Little Frog, This is a video that made me smile from the first moment I heard the music and saw the puppet and his puppeteer. Your Dad plays the guitar, and your Mom plays the ipu and maybe other instruments, too. I don't really know, but you'll find out. This video reminds me so much of a friend your Dad and your Tutu Lady knew a long time ago, when your Dad was a boy. His name was Raymond North. Maybe sometime your Dad will have a story to share about Raymond North who had a gravelly voice like the man playing the guitar in this video. Raymond North was a Welshman, these men are Irishmen. Wales is near Ireland. Listen closely to the song at the end of the video. It's Irish. Your Tutu Pete is an Irishman. It's fun to see how one thing you see can make you think of another thing, or another person. Life is magic that way, if you look for it or listen just so. 💙💚💚
