earth day outing

I didn't realize until after our outing that it was earth day today so how serendipitous that despite the cold wet weather Megan and I spent the late morning hours at one of our favorite outdoor spots.

I don't think I've ever been up there in spring and while I was hoping for a little bit more foliage, maybe a wild blossom or two, there was some life. The grasses, which will soon turn to long weeds were already growing rampantly and the tender small leaves at the tops of the trees were beginning to bud. It was a bit muddy and messy at parts, but we had an enjoyable time.






While we were getting ready to go she said, "Mom I'm gunna bring my scrapbook and draw what I see while you take pictures."

Now do you really hike in red ballet flats? And is that considered a "hike" :)
You look great!
