And right now the "smallest things" are air conditioning and ice cream.
Only yesterday, it was so hot outside that Abby wanted back in the house after just 5 minutes of playtime. That's the first time she's done that, and seeing how it's only the end of May it certainly won't be the last.
All right, I really need to stop
The theme for this week is WARMTH.
Originally, I had a different photo to submit but when uploading my old Walt Disney World pics to a flash drive I came upon yet ANOTHER boat launch/dock picture from The Wilderness Lodge. I couldn't not use it because the picture seemed perfect for this week's theme.
The above photo is a downsized version without the text, so to view the correct one in full size you’ll have to click on this link HERE. The Kim Klassen textures I used this time were HAPPY HEART and CHARMED.
To see the original photo, which I enjoy even more, click HERE.
I can't wait to see everyone's creations!
I just pretend to know.
“Tink was not all bad: or, rather, she was all bad just now, but, on the other hand, sometimes she was all good. Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time. They are, however, allowed to change, only it must be a complete change.”
~ J.M. Barrie; Peter Pan and Wendy

I've been seeing a lot of fairy garden posts lately, which is something I wish I had done when my niece and nephew were little. That is definitely a regret of mine because we each had an appreciation for Peter Pan and pixie dust. Our back garden was really lush, with a lot of hidden spaces that would have been perfect for an entire fairy village!
I could babble forever about just how much Peter Pan/Tinkerbell was intertwined in our lives back then, but I already did that in a previous post a long time ago. The link to that past entry I'll copy/paste below:
Ooooh, Poor Nana!
Since I can't exactly time travel to right this terrible wrong in not having a fairy garden for the children, I figured the next best thing would be to have a fairy door sort of out of sight in either our craft room or my bedroom. (Years ago I saw that that's really popular in Ireland's shops and pubs. Those are my kind of people).
So I did some research, and here's a quick peek at what I found.
I want to do this so badly! It's a fairy door inside some booksellers shop. Is this not the most awesome, whimsical sight you've ever seen?

Found a photo of Autumn on the podium! It's right before conducting the incoming 9th Graders last week.
Here are a few pics of Abby outside last night, once it cooled down a bit. The rest of the divas had the good sense to lounge indoors.
