Blog-tember Challenge: Day 8

September 8, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Gardening, Life, Outside 5 Comments

We’re starting week 2 of the Blog-tember Challenge this week!  Today’s challenge is to tell y’all about my favorite season.  Why it’s my favorite season and what does it say about me?

Well, I have an appreciation for all the seasons, for without one, you can’t have the others!  There’s a cycle you know…

I really enjoy Fall because with it comes cooler temperatures, the beautiful changes in tree colors AND college football season!

But, if I had to choose a most favorite season, which is today’s challenge, I choose Spring.

Spring is the breaking forth of newness.  Spring shows me a new year, a new beginning and newness of life. Daffodils and Forsythia burst forth from the dreariness of Winter, promising something new.  Flowers of all brightness and color pop out to show their glory.  And cheerfulness takes over the hum-drum that can often result from clouds and cold.

These photos are of the flowers and plants I planted this Spring in Lily’s flower bed {read about that post here}.   All reminders to me of the beauty of Spring and what I have to look forward to next year when that flower bed is in full bloom!

How about you?  What’s your favorite season and why?

Reynolds And The Koi

June 1, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom, Outside Leave a Comment

Some weekends we find ourselves wandering around town, trying to find something to do with the kiddos that’s either free or inexpensive.  We’re not cheap, just frugal 🙂

Often we end up at Lowe’s….which, in most instances, does not turn out to be cheap OR frugal!!! Especially if daddy is along for the ride {hehe}.

This past Saturday was like most.  Reynolds and Eliza Jane got up from their naps {wait, she didn’t even take one!!}, and we loaded them up and went to Lowe’s.  {That’s right, Eliza Jane fell asleep in the car, like SHE does on most Saturdays…}.

After perusing the sale aisle and then letting Reynolds drive Dada’s tractor, we decided that it was time to leave before we frivolously spent money on things we didn’t need.

Back in the car, Andrew looked at me and said, “What now?”.

He didn’t want to go home.

I didn’t want to go home.

“Woodley’s?” I said.

“That’s exactly what I was going to say!”  He said.

So off we drove, to Woodley’s.

Woodley’s Garden Center has become one of my new favorite places…even though I’ve only been there twice, the first time was just a few short weeks ago.  It’s quiet, it’s pretty and it’s serene.

We pulled in, and after getting the kids in the stroller, we walked through the greenhouse.  Their plants are just so pretty.  Everything is beautiful.  The baskets are overflowing.

I would like one of everything.  Seriously.

We made our way out to the Koi pond.

When we were there a few weeks ago, Andrew and I had both decided that Reynolds would love the Koi pond.

We pulled the stroller up to one of the edges of the pond and watched his eyes zig-zagging around, following the busy little {fat!} fish.  He squealed and hollered at them.

THEN, Andrew thought we should feed the fish!

Feed fish

Just like those gumball machines…only 25¢ and you could get yourself a handful of fish food pellets!

We have discovered that Reynolds has a mean right arm throw.  The left one…not so much – he hit me a few times with the pellets 🙂

Yep, that one hit me in the leg and I was trying to find it so he could re-throw with his good arm!

The fat Koi fish were happy.

I think I could have sat there for an hour…even with Reynolds pelting me with fish pellets.

I hope you had a great weekend…doing something fun with your family!
