Into The Woods

A gorgeous day like today called for a nature walk (and some twirling) this afternoon! xo

A Favorite Spot

Our walks down the Rail Trail always find us stopping at this sweet little stream. We love to see what's going on in and around it, and it always makes me flashback to my growing up years in Bethany and the brook that ran through everyone's property on our street. So many days were spent playing in and around the brook in our yard, and I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt. that if our property had one too the girls would spend just as much time playing in and around it as I did when I was a kid. They've decided that on our next walk they'll be wearing their wellies. This way they can spend some time exploring in the stream. xo

In Search Of Acorns

A few days ago we went out in search of acorns.  We have been wanting to collect an entire bucket or two full since last autumn and we have had absolutely no luck finding any.  We thought we'd head out again this year in hopes that we'd be more successful. Our first stop was to this wonderful tree that is usually surrounded by thousands upon thousands of acorns....

Sadly, there was a total of one acorn at its base. We decided we'd visit one more spot.  

Here's a little bit of trivia for you:  This is the mill that the Pepperidge Farm mill is modeled after. 

And while we may have only found one acorn between the two places we visited we had a lovely day regardless.  One of these years we'll find all the acorns we're looking for. Until then we'll keep adventuring and seeing what beauty we discover along the way.

A Visit To The Oreo Cows

Our Sunday was a super busy one. So busy that it will take me a total of three blog posts to share all of the fun with you!  Today we bring you pictures from our lovely visit to the oreo cows!

"Look, mama!  A daisy!"

"Hi cows!"

The field of buttercups was just breathtaking!

A Nature Walk

Yesterday (after the baseball game that took place in the backyard) the girls and I headed to the grist mill to explore and pass sometime before dinner.  It was a beautiful spring day, just perfect for exploring our world! 

A Valentine From Mother Nature

The weather on Valentine's Day was nothing short of incredible!  After countless weeks of bitter cold temps and lots and lots of snow, the warm (almost 60 degrees!) weather was a welcome reprieve.  We headed out to get some fresh air and explore the world that we had been shut in from for quite some time.

By the time we got back to the house the girls white tights had turned a lovely shade of grey from all the puddle jumping, and their hands were rather dirty from all the exploring!  We peeled their clothes off of them, washed up and got into snuggly warm clothes while we waited for our friends to arrive for dinner.  What a gift of a day!  A true promise of things to come!
