Dessert or Desert

I really, really thought that Teddy mentioned a "dessert", not a "desert"... Phewww.

My Heart Soars

My Heart Soars

The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop of the flower,
speaks to me.

The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
they speaks to me.

And my heart soars.


Poem by Chief Dan George

There's a piece of really beautiful music inspired by this poem composed by Friedemann. It is also called "My Heart Soars". If you are interested in, it's in the album "Earth Songs - 12 Original Songs Honoring the Earth".

By the way, the little valley in the photo is the area we are living in. ;)

Long time no see

Hi there.
We haven't blogged for a while (again), hope you all are doing well. The reason we've been so quiet is because we've been having a dilemma; whether to continue blogging or to stop it completely... Still not so sure what to do.
Meanwhile, we will be posting some of our photos we haven't yet shown to you until we make our final decision.
Hope you enjoy our little photo stream :)

We Are On The Christmas Card!

It's almost December now. Another Christmas is coming soon! Yesterday, we put our Christmas tree up and decorated it. We love watching the fairy lights twinkle, they make us feel so happy.

By the way, have you started your Christmas shopping yet? How about Christmas cards?
You might have noticed it on the picture above, WE ARE ON THE CHRISTMAS CARD!!!
If you want this Christmas card for someone very special, it is available from Eternal Moment Greeting Cards ;)

We Were Stranded!

Do you remember the story we had told you on one of the blog posts, about the terrible rain we had in October?

We went for a walk the other day and found out that the downpour washed a road to the next village away! We loved taking this road. There was almost no traffic, so it was perfect for us Teddy Bears to enjoy a safe stroll.

Well, now we'll get NO traffic. Certainly guarantee that! But safe? Not for us!

By the way, we were awarded with "Superior Scribbler Award" by Charity and "I Love Your Blog Award" by NJTomboy.
Thanks a lot! We'll give you huuuuuuuuuuge hugs and hairy kisses!

After the October Rain

Grrrrrrr, we heven't published any blog posts for a very long time...
How are you all doing? Hope everything is OK with all of you guys.

We had a terrible rainstorm last week and the rain water came into our house!
Drip, drip, drip...
First when we heard the sound, we weren't so sure what it was.
Our human buddies were rushing around the house with buckets, gushing water was running through the streets, the sky was filled with rolling thunder and lightning...
Wow, that was horrendous!
We'd never experienced that heavy rain before!

At last, a little bit of dry weather came back yesterday, so we were busy mending our roof!

We Are On The Greeting Cards!

We are on the greeting cards now! Yippeeee!!

Recently, Yukiko, one of the human members of our family, created an online greeting card store called "Eternal Moment Greeting Cards" on the Greeting Card Universe site. She is still working on adding more designs to the shop, but it's up and running.

There are only 2 cards of us there yet, but she promised to add some more VERY soon. You'll find some other beautiful cards there as well. She was saying that their card approving process sometimes takes quite a long time, so maybe we shouldn't keep nudging her.

We would truly appreciate your comments and suggestions on the cards, so that we can let her know what people think about them.

The URL for the store is:

Why Do We Travel?

Not all who wander are lost.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien ~

Do you like travelling?

For us, travel is almost not a choice. We do believe that when our body was stuffed with fluffy stuffing and love, a travel bug crept inside our body! We just cannot stay still. If we stay in one place too long, we get a nudge and start dreaming about all the adventures we haven't accomplished yet.

Every time when we visit a new place, it doesn't matter whether it is a nearby town we've never been to or a different country & culture, we get a great excitement. A excitement for something unknown, for the joy of freedom (well, we are always free to do anything anyway), for the new possibilities, and for all the wonders!

It seems to us that the travelling is one of those things either you hate or love. Love, for us, of course.

Where is the most memorable place you've ever visited? Would you like to share your experience with us?

Trying Out the Weaving Loom

We are quite creative teddy bears, you know. We found this little weaving loom in a bascket - we think it belongs to one of the human members of our family. We wanted a nice rug by our bed - like the ones we saw in the Native American Arts & Craft book, so we decided have a go. Once we got the knack, it was so easy! We made a few of them.

Wild Asparagus

"Asparagus Hunting"

We went wild asparagus hunting.
There were many, many of them growing everywhere! We enjoyed them in Pasta Bake last night and in Risotto for lunch today.
We love Spring.

Afternoon Stroll

"Afternoon Stroll"

Sun! At last the sun came out today.
It's been rainy and miserable for several days and we couldn't go out at all, so today we decided to have a little walk to a hillside.

Already there are so many different kinds of wildflowers flowering in the field.

It is Spring!
