These were yesterday's cards which I didn't have time to post.
The first card, Azure, guided me to the color I would wear for the day. I selected a nice and comfy blue tee (which has a bird on it, so it reminded me of the sky in this card) and a pair of blue jeans. I carried a blue agate stone in my pocket and wore a blue stone necklace.
The Tangerine card didn't come into play until evening time. This card recommends being spontaneous and having fun. I had tried a new cookie recipe yesterday and was making notes in the cookbook... I asked the kids to look on the calendar for me, so I could note the date. The 28th! I remembered that was the date that the blood donation bus would be in our neighborhood next. I looked at the clock and it was already 6:30 p.m. Oh, I was so bummed that I had missed it. I went to my room to look for the notes I had jotted down about the time the bus would be there. They are usually gone by 6 or 7 in the evening.
I was thrilled to see that I had written down that they would be there until 9pm! What luck!! The bus would be parked in a shopping center about a half mile from our house. I asked the kids if they wanted to walk it. It was still light out, but when we returned, it would likely be dark. Would they like that adventure? They were all up for it. So we walked there, I donated blood, and our Tangerine moment was walking home at 9pm in the dark. They enjoyed the thrill of it. As we walked, we sang a song that my daughter made up a few months ago, about walking around in the dark and being scared.
I love the feeling of being outdoors at night time, and I remember being outside at night a lot as a kid, when the world was a different place. My cousins and I used to spend hours with our friends, chasing fireflies and playing Hide-and-Seek and Ghost-in-the-Graveyard all hours of the night, freely exploring the blocks surrounding our houses. My kids haven't had the same liberties, as they are only outside at night if we are going someplace in a car. I wouldn't dream of letting them play outside after dark. So last night was definitely a spontaneous moment of fun for both my kids and myself!

I am loving this deck! It's hard to believe we use to camp out in the front garden at night (without adults present)! I can remember getting woken up by the milkman (that doesn't exist any more).
:) I know, right? I remember sleeping in a tent in the backyard. Those nighttime outdoor experiences were magical.
I'm glad you're enjoying the deck images. They are so beautiful IRL!
