Other than getting up at 4:00 a.m., which is not something I ever do happily, today was absolutely brilliant! I’m utterly and completely exhausted, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had such fun! We danced and played the sun up at the Santa Cruz Lighthouse, accompanied by gulls, sea lions and crashing waves…and what a beautiful sunrise it was, too! Then, after a hearty breakfast, we danced in two locations downtown, then went out to the Homeless Garden Project (a small farm in Santa Cruz that teaches homeless people how to garden, and then helps them sell the produce at area farmers markets to raise money for basic essentials), where we danced in a fallow field and then had a May Pole. Had a break for lunch and to let the kids run around, then danced for a good couple of hours on the covered bridge in Felton before heading up to the Boulder Creek Brewery for dinner and more dancing! I say “we danced”…actually, the kids danced; I played. BTW, the Sweetheart Professional proved to be the perfect Morris whistle…it even held up to the windy conditions at the farm and the noise level in the pub (and yes…at least two people called it a “recorder,” but what the heck…we know better, don’t we?).
I took tons of pics, and will hopefully get them up on our website in a couple of days.
