Nature

I really do enjoy the change in seasons. I welcome each new season gladly. The only season I really tire of is winter, which makes welcoming spring so much fun! I do love fall. Bringing jeans and sweaters and sweatshirts out again. But man, where did summer go?! It went so fast!! Anyways.....this morning it was raining ~ which we really needed ~ and now the sun is out. The temp is in the upper 60's and just soo pleasant.

This past Sunday, we spent the afternoon outside. Andrew rode his gator a lot as well as other riding toys. I enjoyed watching a butterfly and hummingbirds amongst our flowers. Chad and I were discussing and measuring out where we would like to put in a garden next spring. Such wonderful weather and care free time. Isn't nature great? Here are some pictures of the butterfly/hummingbird garden we planted earlier this spring and the butterfly (and bee) that frequent them. I wasn't able to capture any of the hummingbirds. The feeder is right outside the window where our computer and desk is. I love to hear the hum/buzz as the hummingbirds dive into the garden.




Here, Andrew pushed on the gas; which I wasn't ready for and neither was Carson!! I won't post the picture Chad took of Andrew's bottom as he took a leak in the woods. Boys. Yesterday as I was pulling weeds in the front flowerbeds and turned around and saw Andrew with his pants down in the front yard! Mooning all the men working on the house next to ours. This must be stopped.

P.S. Andrew is now home from preschool. I asked him if he went potty at preschool. He said, "yes, in the grass." Okay, this really has to be stopped!!
