cicus came to town
well not really the circus,
but almost good enough.
a small little carnival of rides and games.
they just showed up and started setting up on wednesday
{I was on my way to one of the new jobs and I so didn't want to go. I wanted to stay and take photos of the set up. I saw bumble bee carts just sitting in the park}
friday night the rides started…monday morning there was no sign of them.
Like the traveling circus of the past.
The carnival workers especially intrigue me.
I wonder if it is a life they choose,
or if life chooses it for them,
or if they were born into this life on the fringe.
I wonder.
The sparkly lights disguise it…
On a completely different note…
I was thinking that we need another virtual blog party.
Like Risa's tea party.
I am thinking a sweets party.
cupcakes, pastries, root beer floats, sundaes…
whatever floats your sweet tooth.
monday june 11th starts at 11am pst. {or earlier, because it is never to early for sweets}
tell all your friends.
the more the merrier.
{i'll be back on wednesday with a word painting}
