Elphanigh, I share your love of all things OZ. I have read every book Mr. Baum published and several other adaptations. Though, I really love the Dorothy of the books. She's strong and confident most of the time. She embraces the magic, knowing it's as real as the nose on her face. If others scoff, that bothers her not at all. Their skepticism doesn't change one iota of the reality of OZ.
Allimatt, thank you for joining us! We have hammocks, some already set up on the forest side, see? Under the tree-house? There's also one by the beach, low slung so you can touch the Earth as you rock. If you want.
DecimalRocket, how are you faring today? Did you get to look out and watch the asteroid shower last night? Or was that the night before? I missed it, but there will be others. I've enjoyed their majesty before. I will again, should the fates allow.
I'm going to sneak off to the ocean side of the porch and wrap in a calming blanket. Just listening to the ocean, with my eyes closed, is the healing I need right now.
