Just a walk in the woods!

The kids and I went on a walk today. After a short walk through the woods we made it to the creek. Playing in the water was very refreshing. After the creek we were able to see a tractor in the field! Ian and Anya were very excited to see that. I love how spending some time in nature clears the mind and leaves room for the rest of the day!

Garden

Anya and I have been working hard in the garden since April. After yesterdays storm we went out to weed the garden. A lot of it is disheveled right now in the pictures, but I believe they will bounce back. I had to thin out the carrots and onions because they were over crowded. Anya was very happy about that because the carrots that I pulled were actually starting to grow and she got to eat some tiny carrots! She ran back to the house and immediately washed them and shared with Ian. 

Growing up we had a garden and I swore that I would never have a garden. I guess I had no idea how much fun they actually are. Sure, they are a lot of work, but it pays off in the end!

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

Life flies by!

I have been a horrible blogger lately! I plan on fixing that though. I stopped bringing out my big camera every time I leave the house in fear of something happening to it. I decided that I needed a small camera that fits in my pocket to capture more everyday things! I got that camera yesterday and am pretty happy about it! I am glad that I can still have a camera on me at all times and not worry about it constantly.

Yesterday, I went outside to find our little turtle sitting on the lilly pad in our little pond! Thanks to my new camera, I was able to get a few pictures of it for the first time!

And I just had to share a picture of my pretty kitty Athena
