Howl With Melvin and Win a Book

The coyotes will be howling at me tomorrow night. It's a full moon and a lunar eclipse so I will be hiding for a few minutes. I hope I don't scare anyone when I jump back out from behind the shadows.

Your blue balloons help me sing with the coyotes. Blue helps me express myself. I can say what I mean better when I have blue ballons.

Tell Heather what you would like to say to me (Melvin Moon) and win a free copy of my book "Melvin's Balloons".

Post your reply as a comment and we'll make a draw on Summer Solstice (June 21st) from the comments received.

Sincerely,

Melvin Moon

Book Signing- Edmonton Chapters

Heather will be signing books for me at the Chapters South Point Store in Edmonton, Alberta, on May 19th from 12:00 till 2:00. If you have a copy of Melvin's Balloons and you want it signed- bring it down. If you don't have a copy yet, come out, pick one up and get Heather to sign it for you. It's also a good chance to tell us your balloon stories.

Mother's Day Green Balloons

Sunday,is Mother's Day, and I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world. Since I started getting green balloons, I understand what love feels like. Of all the different types of love I see down there on earth, I can feel that the love between mother and child is very strong and special. It makes me feel good knowing that all kinds of special events are being planned to celebrate this love.

If you're trying to come up with a gift for your mother, it seems to me that many of them consider a hug to be the best gift of all! Or you could color a picture of a green balloon and explain why you love them so much.

I see a few balloons being blown up for the event as well! Don't worry if one gets away from you. I'll look after it!

Happy Mother's Day.

Sincerely,

Melvin Moon

Spring Peepers Singing

Heather and I have been listening to the peepers singing at night. Their arrival is a sure sign of spring and Heather seems pretty happy about that.

I am used to singing with the coyotes since I got all those blue balloons, but I figure I can sign with the frogs too. The ones I see are mostly greenish, although they are pretty hard to spot, especially from away up here. Their sound and color makes me realize how much I love all the sounds and sights of spring.

Heather found a website where you can learn about peepers and listen to their sound. If you can't hear peepers where you are, or to learn more about them, check into National Geographic's website and listen to the audio take there. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/spring-peeper.html

Peepers only sing at night so we keep each other company!

Easter Colors

Easter is coming up this weekend and from my spot up here above you, I can see people getting ready for all kinds of celebrations. For some people, Easter is a religious holiday, for others it's a celebration of spring and rebirth.

Whatever you are celebrating at Easter, it seems it's a pretty colorful time of year with painted eggs and fancy hats. The most common Easter colors are yellow and purple. That makes sense to me.

The yellow color makes me feel energized. I feel like I can do anything I set out to do. There is a lot of energy around us with all those flowers starting to blossom, the trees getting new leaves, and grass starting to grow again.

The purple color makes me realize I can understand what you are doing, and sometimes what you are feeling. Purple helps people feel connected to nature, as though we are a part of nature's spring celebration.

If you're having trouble finding hidden treasure like those painted eggs, try wearing purple- maybe it will help your intuition. Then you'll know just where those things are.

If you're celebrating with balloons and one gets away- wave to me and smile. I'll be smiling right back at you!

Sincerely,

Melvin Moon
