Just Because

So, here's a bit of the good, random fun in my world this last week.

The Good.

Every now and then unexpected treasures force you to pull off the road 
and capture a rare moment!

"When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills." Chinese proverb

In this case,

I think this person is planning on a windmill! 

Every visit to Cannon Falls has to include stopping by to see my favorite pair of Trumpeter Swans.  Yep, they're still residents.

I'm watching you watching me watching you! 

The Random

Spending Friday in Linden Hills, a favorite destination. 

You just never know what storybook character may be lurking about the bookstore, so keep your eyes open.

.... and just down the street is a fashionable store with designs especially for Faeries and other woodland creatures. 

The Fun

Of course we all had the best fun at the most entertaining bookstore ever, chasing a few animals, meeting new friends, and bringing home a special summer read.

Talk to the animals and they'll talk back to you.

Please hold still Mr. Grasshopper so I can take your picture!

You know what they say, "A restless grasshopper eventually ends up in a birds teeth." African Proverbs

Yep, you guessed it.  We spent some time leaving little messages in various locations. 

A stick message!

One of the best ways to close out the weekend was chilling by the waterfall in Cannon Falls.
