Eagles and Ostara
Mar. 24th, 2014 11:08 amThe other day, Mason and I went on a road trip. I'm not saying exactly when because maybe we skipped school--or maybe we didn't. Point is, it was me and my kidlet and the open road. We decided to head south to see what we might find. We found...
the World's Largest Boot, size 600-something and a half:
After bombing around Red Wing for awhile, we went further down the road. We tried to stop in Stockholm, Wisconsin, because I had fond memories of getting cheese-fudge there while doing a gig for the film festival. Turns out? Stockholm closes for the season. There was one place open: the General Store. So we bought some gummy dinosaurs there and took the advice of the nice guy working behind the counter and head for the Nelson Creamery for lunch.
After hanging out there for awhile, we crossed the river and visited the Wabasha Eagle Center:
So we bought a hat and headed home. It was a good day, honestly. A lot of fun to just take off and see what there was to see down the road a pace, as they say.
And, because, despite the snow falling outside my window right now, it's officially spring, we decorated our Ostara eggs. Mason has clearly figured out the connection between ima (that would be me) and the Ostara bunny, because I was at work on Wednesday night (the night before the Equinox/Ostara) and I got a lot of frantic text messages reminding me to stop off somewhere from Shawn. Mason had also put a note to the Ostara bunny on my computer that read, "Dear Ostara Bunny, please don't forget the basket... Don't FUBAR this again, like you did last year!" (I don't remember forgetting? But apparently this was a big mistake!) At any rate, the basket arrived on time--granted there may be a few frozen peeps in the trunk whenIma, the Ostara bunny might have been frantically assembling a basket in the CVS Drugstore parking lot... but, hey, at least the bunny didn't FUBAR it.
Then, this Saturday we colored our Ostara eggs, which were then hidden and discovered on Sunday morning. Here are some of our more 'artsy' ones:
So there you have it. All the news that's fit to print... ;-)
