Afternoon Hike--Fox Run Regional Park

-
David and I are trying to do more
walking for a couple of reasons.
First, I am trying to lose weight.
(It's out there now,
so no turning back!)
Secondly, we are going to 
Washington, D.C. this October
 with my siblings and spouses
(CAN'T WAIT!)
so we want to be ready
for lots and lots and lots of walking.
Fox Run Regional Park
was our destination today.
Not a bad spot for a hike, I'd say!
Love the way the trees
reflected in the water.
A different shot
Don't the black markings
at the bottom of this tree look
like a lopsided heart?
You cannot see the sign too well, but
it was about lightning strikes on trees.
See the tree in the background.
If you know David well, I bet
you can guess what kind of t-shirt
he is wearing.
I wonder if some type
of animal lives
in the hole in the bottom of
this tree stump.
There are still a few
wildflowers blooming.

The fall berries are
beginning to appear as well.
The sun shining through
the trees was beautiful.

Thanks for going on our
hike with us.

It is so much more green than the two times I've been there. Beautiful! I must have gotten my "I wonder if an animal lives in that hole in the tree." from you. :) Wonderful how mothers can influence the imaginations of their kids! Kelly

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
