A time to play


It's biblical you know,
playing.
Well
maybe not,
but when I wrote the title,
it sounded like the chapter in
Ecclesiastes
"A time to plant...
A time to HEAL..
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep
and a time to LAUGH,"
Yeah, laugh!  It's in the Bible!
"A time to mourn and a time to DANCE.
A time to embrace...
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to search and a time to give up.
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to LOVE...
A time for
PEACE."


This garden was one of those places.
A garden of old metal,
flowers in unusual places.
Pieces of whimsy
that jumped 
out at you.


While traveling with my teenagers
last spring,
we stopped at Necessities in Hutchinson, KS.
They waited in the car
for mom to look at one more antique store.
I had to come back and get them
for a photo shoot, I was so inspired!



and the funniest thing happened....
they loved it!
They played.
There was a graveyard of old
VW's.
My daughter has wanted a hippie bus
forever.

You should have heard her squeal as she
took off running!

Don't forget to take time to play.
Enjoy those moments,
those ordinary ones
can easily turn into
EXTRAORDINARY moments.

play hard,
deedee
