Dance of the Dragonflies

Well to update from the last post, I did end up putting a couple songs up on a new page. We'll see how that goes, but so far it's been pretty interesting.

Much has been stirring in the past weeks...we will now be leaving from the summerlands to journey back up the coast to Virginia, where we are originally from anyway. It was definitely an adventure to leave where we had lived all our lives and rarely left for any real length of time, to set out to the mountains of VA for a few months and then trek down to Florida. I do enjoy the warm weather down here and will miss feeling the sun nearly everyday that I stepped out of the house. Such a treasure to be surrounded by the beach and bay and watch boats cruise past you as you swim in the pool a few feet away. I'll always remember that:)

The skies in Florida really are magnificent, with clouds in formations that we've only seen in the movies. Complete masterpieces every time you turn around! Ofcourse there are the countless natives of the land who are incredibly curious as to what you're doing and where you are going. The only time I have never minded lizards:) Though if they crossed my territory and tried to live in the vacinity of where I sleep, that's a completely different matter. All bets are off there.

Another lovely memory I hope to keep with me is that of the dragonflies. There are so many here that it's almost alarming when you first see them because they're just everywhere. In our regular walks that we take, they come out in the hundreds and swoop over our heads in this awesome kind of dance. Now ordinarily the idea of having that many bugs around me is enough to weird me out and send me over the edge to grab a can of bugspray and spray the entire planet into an overpolluted-bug free airzone, but these particular bugs are considerably polite & make a hurry to fly out of your way. They must be well-mannered:)

The evening seems to be their favorite time to come out, right when the sun is going down. They fly higher than the tops of our heads when we walk through them and bounce back and forth in long assembly lines above the sidewalk, resembling more of an archway of flyers to those that unfortunately have to stay on the ground. But it is truly a sight to see. How awesome God is to create so many unique creatures.

I have enjoyed many things about this place...but I pray that I will always be up for the next adventure that the Lord leads me on to.
