It has been so nice here. The air is starting to have that crisp feel in the mornings and it smells so good. It's been a typical week...catching turtles and snakes, riding the pony, school in the morning and working in the afternoons outside with Daddy. We've been finding ourselves making more cups of tea. Maybe it is the sense that Fall is on the way. We enjoyed 2 nights just sitting around the fire by the pond and talking. Yesterday we went to the river thinking it may be our last chance to swim...the water is starting to cool down. We had a picnic lunch first and Drew and the boys kicked a ball around. We bought Levi a Slinky for his birthday recently and they had a great time watching it go down the steps of the sliding board where we had our picnic. Life seems to have slowed down a bit even though school has started up! I know I'm making an effort to notice the small things in life that can bring so much joy. Speaking of that...I have added a new blog to the "Blogs I read" section. It is called Eyes of Wonder. Oh, how inspiring this blog is! The photos are a feast for the eyes...so rich. Such a full and gentle life.
Ukiah and I went to town today to purchase chicken scratch and to pick up our books at the library. We always come home with more than just what we get on interlibrary loan. lol. We found a good treehouse book...some inspiration to get back to work on our treehouse.
I can smell that lunch is almost ready to put on the table so I should close for now. Veggie chicken rice, tomato sandwiches, and red peppers from the greenhouse.

Hi Penny, I see you changed your background. It looks nice. I spoke to my mom, who is in NY, and she said it's cooling down up there as well. Over here it is still very hot. Yesterday was 90, but with the humidity, the computer said it felt like 97. I can only work in the garden for a bit, before I get dizzy from the heat. I'm glad to hear that you are slowing down to enjoy the small things. Oh, I so enjoy Eyes of Wonder. I started reading her blog a few months ago. Just reading and seeing the pictures make me feel so peaceful. ;0) Thanks for sharing. Your lunch sounded very tastey!!
