How brave a ladybug must be! Each drop of rain is big as she. Can you imagine what you'd do, If raindrops fell as big as you? ~Aileen Fisher
The Rain
Last night the rain spoke to me slowly, saying, what joy to come falling out of the brisk cloud, to be happy again in a new way on the earth! That’s what it said as it dropped, smelling of iron, and vanished like a dream of the ocean into the branches and the grass below.... Continue Reading →

A Few Snaps From the CDBF
Over the weekend, the family went to the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival. It has grown so much over the years.
