School Shopping

So we had a failed attempt for school shopping the other day. We could not find anything the girls needed but in the middle of everything we needed to sit down and recharge with some good eats. And of course it never hurts to top it all off with a chocolate chip cookie that is the size of your head!!! LOL....hope everyone had a great day today.

Dragonfly

So the other day while watering the pond and the turtles I came across a huge reddish orange dragonfly. 

He was not afraid of me at all in fact as I was holding the water hose and he took 3 drinks from it. I looked online on what they meant or symbolized and it seems depending on where you're from there are different meanings. Some good some bad. 

Being part Native American they believe its a sign of good luck so I'm gonna go with that one but I was wondering what everyone else thinks. I asked this on my YouTube channel and got nothing but positive feedback on the symbolism. 

Below are some pics I would say he was about 4" long and his wing span was about 5" or more. You can actually see his eyes that's how close I could get to take a pic.
Hope you like the pictures, hope everyone has a great weekend.

Love and Light,

The Desert Siren

Kids are funny.

So this will be a quick and small post about a moment that happened today.

Well my oldest daughter (16 yrs) and my hubby were sitting talking about tattoos. Well my hubby has a ton of tats on him and my 16 year old got her first one for her 16th birthday. Yeah I know that's a little to young but that is what she wanted and I had to approve the size and image. And myself have a small one on my left shoulder towards the back.

Well my 5 year old is sitting there and gets this huge pout on her face and when I asked her what was wrong she said "I dont have a tattoo, I'm not like the rest of the family".
So my foster son (who has tats as well and is an artist himself) pulled her aside and gave her a pretend one of her favorite character (Hello Kitty) which made her oh so happy.

Now what to do and say when it washes off. *UGH*

Hope everyone had a fabulous week and an even better weekend to come.

Love and Light.....
