Since it has been so beautiful the past few days, Noah and I have taken advantage of the weather and gone on some long walks around the farm. We have enjoyed the new budding flowers and Noah has enjoyed picking a few things up along the way. We found a bird's nest, empty of course, made with a snake skin intertwined in it. We also picked a beautiful camelia from Aunt Claudia's yard. Then Noah found a pretty blue piece of glass from an old bottle and some other gross blue thing that I think was used on Aunt Rachael's horses leg. It was a wonderful day and one that I treasure. I love seeing how little it takes to make a child happy. I could really learn a lesson it that.

I'm going to have to print out your chicken picture for the kids at school. They're still in love with your chickens I showed them last year. ...of course, I have to know that chicken's name because they're going to ask.
I had a flashback as I watched the kids inspecting the tractor that's being used to dig for a new walkway at the school today. I stood back, watched them explore, and sniffed the freshly broken soil. Oh, to be 5 again having dirt bomb fights in the garden after Daddy plowed!
Miranda, that chicken's name is Swoop. I know this b/c her crown on her head flops over and the rest of them have one's that stand up. She is the leader of the pack these days. Miss you!!
I love the chicken picture!! Also, isn't it amazing how little it takes to entertain a child? So why do I keep spending money on toys?
That's what I'm saying Lyds!
I hate spammers!! Agh!
That baby is playing with broken, jagged, deathly shards of glass.....I'm calling someone.
Some of those dirt bombs were really hard! Ah, the good ole days.
Not spend money on toys??? I can't wait for the day when Noah starts crying in Walmart because mommy won't buy the toy he wants! Make sure you take a video of that! In addition, I can't wait for him to start begging me for money like some of the promise land children do!
Sorry Martha...me being my obnoxious self again! :D
