Nature Study








I will be the first to admit that I do not enjoy doing nature study. I love flowers and trees. I really enjoy watching birds from my living room window. But as a mom I need to take my children out to experience nature. So, we went for a walk on a horse trail not too far from home earlier this week. In one picture you will see Scatterbrain holding a feather she found. I was mainly concerned with helping the kids identify trees on this walk so that accounts for the tree bark pictures. I like identifying flowers so the ones that were new to me I also took photos of. My kids think I know every flower in God's creation. We'll be running down highway 63 at 70 miles an hour and I will hear from behind me "What was that yellow stuff?" I am not that good.

My Dad


We had a week long visit from my Dad last week. As usual I took very few pictures. This is one we got on the evening we celebrated his birthday. He is such a great guy. I wish we could see him more.

No more corn on the cob for me!!



It happens to most all of us .Hopefully it only happens to you once!! Without those two front teeth it is hard work to enjoy summer corn on the cob.

Summer Softball



ScatterBrain played softball for the first time this summer. She had fun and learned a lot.
