week 3 // you are my wild

This week:

Fiona makes a time portal behind the shed.  Well, three actually.  The time portal seen here, just beyond that door, was a non-stop to the Jurassic Period.  Enter at your own risk.  (No really.  Enter the chicken poop-filled shed at your own risk.)  The second portal, the one next to the fence, behind the saggy magnolia tree, next to where the dirty pool water drains out (oh my), still had a few kinks to work out.  But when in operation, I would've traveled back to the days of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods.  Or as Fiona has coined that era the "Back Then".  And the last portal, the one which she could barely contain her excitement over was a gift to me and her father.  It required boots and crawling under limbs and gingerly wading through knee high kudzu to find, but it was so worth the effort.  We were about to travel back to (and I quote), "A garden somewhere fancy with roses and those bushes that are shaped like animals.  And when you guys get there, walk straight down the brick path, until you find a park bench made out of gold.  That's your park bench.  For you guys to sit on and talk or kiss if you'd like.  I thought you guys needed a date."

That's my girl.  Filled with wonder and an imagination she can barely contain, but equally observant in the here & now... she knew her mother and father were in need of a date.  Even if it meant time travel/ breaking & entering into the queen's gardens.

You will also find adventures of the backyard, belly, black & white, bed jumping, toe painting, snowy, noodle, airport, pool, and glorious color variety here.  I promise to stop saying how amazing I think these photographers are one day.  And their blogs are pretty great too.
