So how much do i LoVe HeLeN?? she just showed up at the door at Amy's, she lives with Amy's Mom. anyway...there she was, making herself muy comfortable after we shared a little dinner. Very inspiring to keep playing, which i am having lots of time to do these days.
i am discovering the endless wonders of the ocean. Paolina told me that the lobster body i found was likely a lobster that crawled out of it. who knew??? lobsters make a whole new body...okay, so they just keep getting cooler and cooler in my book :)
and seaweed! holy smokes. i mean, REALLY! in one tiny square foot of sand i found 6 different types...flat and smooth, white, red, brown, green, bright green, little bubbles, and even this one that is sooo cool i think they made some fake plastic toy like it. why the hell do we make so many plastic things when nature has provided us an eternal playground?!!
ok, so, Questions...
what are those little seaweed bubbles filled with water? what do sea anemones eat and how long can they go without food (i was worried about those little critters that are stuck in the seabowls in the big rocks that fill with water and then just hang out when the tide goes out- i guess they've got good timing down and all with the tide). what are those itty bitty teensy weensy little critters that appear to be nothing more than two little whips flying around above said seabowl? when pelicans play follow the leader, is there a productive reason or is it just for fun? everybody up uP UP DOWN DOwn down and uP UP DOWN DOwn down hee, looks fun!
it was sweet to sleep outside last night, not quite as windy. the creatures were so sweet. i even saw a little foxy fox on my way up the mountain around midnight. she was pertty. and the wind sang me to sleep under the stars while they told me stories of far away lands where people are outside all the time and the animals and plants and trees and everybody is equal. sweet dreams.

ouch! that first paragraph is impossible to read in that color...
and i don't know that i have all the answers for your ocean questions. although i do know that the air bubbles on the kelp are to make them float and rise from the ocean floor where they're anchored. and sea anemones eat little fish (that they sting with their tentacles) as well as plankton that they filter feed on. mmmmm...yum!
