The Organic Life of an Alabama Gypsy: "Random Snap Shots of Our Big-Little World"

The mooooooon...as Zipp would say! Yes, the moon...we spend a lot of time hanging out with the moon while we are at the school with Daddy Zero! Nighttime is one of our favorite times of the day because we are all night owls! While people sleep, we do things like take pictures of the moon...

...or walk the field with glow sticks...or in Zipp's case...run...*smile*

Sometimes Cooper will impress/entertain us by riding his unicycle...in the dark!

As if riding a unicycle wasn't hard enough, right?

*wink*

Cooper amazes me with the things he can do...

So as Cooper peddles away on his unicycle, Zipp is running in the dark with his glow stick...

...and vice versa...

...and vice versa!

It can be tricky keeping up with everyone in the dark,

as they do their own thing,

going in opposite directions!

HeeHee!

That's okay...we have the moon to light the way...

...and often fire!

Sometimes we ride around in the field in Keen's van...
Zipp helps Dada drive...

Dada is not nervous at all about Zipp driving the van
around the field...

...um, maybe a little nervous! Ha!

Hey Mama J and Daddy D!!!

XOXO

Take a WILD guess whose parents they are...???
Hmmm, I wonder...???
Keen looks NOTHING like his parents!!!

*wink*

Kayla, my daughter, painted the below painting for me...

I love it!

It makes me smile!

*smile*

These mushrooms that I found in my backyard don't make me smile like Kayla's painting...these are called "stinky toes" and they live up to their name...peeEWW!

They don't really look like toes to me...uh hum...Next!!!

Cooper pleased with a gift he got...
he is so sweet and such a handsome fellow!

Zipp and Dada understand each other...so precious!

I love my two Zero's...Zipp Zoom Zero and Mr. Zero!

Two peas in a pod!!!

Hello tinsel tree, what is it that you see...?

Why It's Keen...looking back at me!!! HeeHee!

Cooper in Farmington Georgia hanging out at JB's (Jeff Bishop) studio!

JB is a fellow Potter, along with Keen!!!

Zipp having fun spinning a toy on a string...Fun-Fun!!!

*Big BIg BIG SMILE*

Great day at a thrift store today...found some AWESOME books for Zipper-doodle! Yay!

A few rocks I painted! Fun! I think I need to paint MORE!

Keen's way of saying,"I love you"...using the skin of a baked potato I had just eaten and a random object!! I never know what I might find when I wash dishes! lol! *wink*

My way of saying, "I love you"...arranging bits and pieces of random parts!

He never knows what he might find when he looks for screws, nuts, and bolts! lol! *smile*

True love if I say so myself...

Me making fun of selfies!

I call this series, "Axyl Rose...with glasses!"

Oh yeah, beautiful! Ha!

Making something beautiful out of something ugly! It's what I do...

Why not?

Very proud of Keen's first garden...look at those MELONS!

Where's Cooper?

Beautiful moth...moths are

my friends! *sigh*

BEANS! It's whats for dinner! Yummy!

With love, from our garden...I think? Maybe not? I don't remember?

Hmmm...

Cooper chillin'...

Zipp chillin'...

So much love...everywhere! XO

The water park (closed) down the road from us...

Cooper loved this place!

He is obsessed with exploring it before they demolish it!

Ha!

Keen and Zipp talking about stars at bedtime...

Ford Court in Auburn has been demolished...

Auburn is growing...

Auburn has changed!

Cooper playing with my camera!
He took some GREAT shots!

Zipp

My oldest son is named Tripp...yes, I know...Tripp and Zipp...anyway, they are both Autistic!

When I saw this "Tripp" name tag in Zipp's classroom...

it brought back memories of a time 23 years ago when Tripp was 3...

the same age Zipp was when this photo was taken...
at the same school...
with the same agenda...
for the same reasons...!

I learned a lot from Tripp...
Thanks, buddy...
I miss you...
