Snacks in the sand is a favorite part of theis time of year.Climbing all the logs and debris that has washed up duringthe winter stroms changin gthe beach landscape from year to year.
April is definatley here when all you can find in bloom is the same 3 things, daffodils, crocuses, and tulips.But no less wonderful to enjoy.
I had to make Molly another new coat.This one a bit more feminine.
I wish Lucy would stop eating them so I would only have to make one a year or so.
None the less I have gotten super quick at making them and I love the way Molly prances when she gets a new one.
I have really noticed more so in these years then in the earlier ones, that girls are so much different than boys.
And vice versa.
But my ladies are really tomboy"ish" so I feel I have the best of both worlds.
As summer creeps ever closer the bugs, insects and birds are coming out of hiding and the girls are thrilled to nits with all the action.
They have no qualms about handling any such critters except they both have a serious aversion to spiders.
I am not sure where that came form but dad, Nana and uncle are petrified of snakes.
This makes for some serious fun for our girls at times, cruel but fun.
E had this friend for a whole afternoon.I tried to explain about the physics of flight and the necessity for moths to have their wing dust.
E was so careful and gentle.
She sang to it, gave it pushes on the swing, ate a picnic with it on her finger and shared her whole world with her mothy moff.
Life had another lesson as she realized to her sheer terror that moths do not play with chickens very well.
So bye bye moth and after a few hugs and explanations we were onto the next thing.
Ladybugs and cricket are a definite sign of the season.We have hummingbird everywhere but I am never quick enough to get my camera and if I am not good enough to get a descent picture.
Maybe I will have to set up the tripod and stake out the feeders.
Now as the days are getting longer and the sun is actually warm, dare I even say hot it means full days in the yard and dinner dates at the beach.
Your blog is great. I came across it via the Let The Children Play site. I'm struggling to relax with two boys, 5 and almost 3 yrs old, who adore all things creepy-crawly. We have some impassable woods behind our house, though my boys have recently tried to forge their way through the brush and neck-high "weeds" using Nerf swords as machetes. I'm petrified that they are going to get bitten by a snake, covered with ticks and/or chiggers, or paralyzed by spider bites. We live in southwest Missouri. I'm originally what most would call a "city girl" from the Chicagoland area. What, if anything, do you recommend?
