Happy Earth Day!

Technically yesterday was Earth Day but I was taking photos and spending time with friends and could not post until now. Three little girls spent the afternoon with me and we planted pansies in celebration of spring. I am continually inspired by nature and Earth Day was the ideal occasion to play in the dirt and talk about things we can do to make the world a better place. Shouldn’t everyday be Earth Day?

How Do You Like Those Apples?

Mama said that money doesn’t grow on trees
and sadly mama was right.
Mama said that I had too many shoes
even though mine felt tight.

Yet I wished for shoes galore,
hoping they’d grow on trees.
And don’t you know they actually do?
Now I can have all that I please.

The Explorers

This could very well be my favorite photograph. Not only I am enamored because it includes my children; I happen to love the textures, the light, and the feeling it evokes. I have more photos to edit from this particular adventure but I couldn’t help but share this image. I hope that we have a thousand more opportunities to explore and make our own fun outside of the house and away from the television. Here’s to playing outside!
