Hiking ~ Family ~ Nature

Today was lovely in every way. Inspiring. Quiet. Peaceful. Restful. and just plain Fun.
In the early afternoon, Duane suggested a short hike and we all headed out to enjoy this awesome weather.


Macy loves the water and she took off ahead.  We found her swimming happily in the swamp waters when we arrived.


The boys really wanted to join her out there.  Adison announced, "Mom the water is really warmish, coldish." I have a feeling that it was certainly more "coldish" than "warmish".


Of course, they all stayed dry and clean...........well, not exactly dry..........and I suppose clean isn't the word to use either.  But they enjoyed it, and that is what really matters.


Lexie checked out some dry grass, enjoyed the warm air....



...and snuggles with Daddy.


I  absolutely love watching these two interact!!!  They are the BEST!!!

Spring Is In The Air


The seedlings are doing well.  Just maybe, I might be getting excited about the new garden.
It felt so overwhelming just a few weeks ago.  Today is a sunny 77 degrees and somehow it makes me feel like being out there cleaning things up and seeing things grow again.  We still have some winter crops.  Kale, Collards, Spinach, and Chard.




The chickens are laying more eggs...



 and the fish are happy to be warm and keep literally jumping out of their pool.

Experimental Makeover



It's a case of a boy confiscating his daddy's razor. 



How long does it take for eyebrows to grow back?

More Than One Color

He said, "Momma, look what I have." 
He opened his hand to show me a picture in beans. "You see,  this is our family!"
