The Simple Scents of Life

The geese flew by this morning. The sound of geese is very welcoming in the Spring, because we know it's beginning to thaw...the sound of geese now means that Summer is almost over...which is sad, because it really just began! Summertime here is very nice. It's cool for the most part, low humidity (well, coming from a former Texas resident, anyhow :)), and huge blue skies. Each time it rains, it seems to cool off just a little more.

The last post has pictures of the big storm from last week. I'd post pictures of us pulling our tree down, but the pictures from our walk yesterday were much cuter, so they made it to the blog first! :) We like to take walks and since the lambs were tired of being stuck in the "barn" during the rain storms, the little girls decided to take them out for some exercise. Cute, but very stubborn creatures...makes me wonder why the Lord compared us to sheep. ;) Taking Jeeves and Wooster along brought up some good conversation with the little girls, and great object lessons, though! So without further ado...the pictures:

Dad burning some of the brush and such from pulling our tree down. He's lovin' that fire pit!

Hey, it's my ham! With the amount of time that he spends in the sun, you'd think his hair would be white. Mine is getting lighter (which must explain why I was more "blond" than strawberry the other day :)) but his is getting darker. How odd is that?

William gets a nice head-butt from Jeeves.

A giant little girl on her bike. I can't count the number of times she's fallen off that thing! But she loves to ride now that she can without training wheels. If she can't be found inside, we know where to find her! Don't know what we're going to do when Winter comes...

It was 84 degrees, I believe at the time this picture was taken...Abby played all day in a long sleeved dress with a turtleneck. Grace on the other hand, knows how to dress for Summer!

The shepherdess... Oh, you see that blurry roundish light in the back? A car. Hmmm. I wonder.... perhaps if we could get the sheep to run at it, if we could shorten the butchering job...

My dahlin' sistas! Check out the reflection in Abby's sunglasses...

Awwww, but he's so cute, right? This is Wooster.

This is Jeeves, the big annoying one who likes to be the center of attention.

Awwww, Emma had two little lambs with fleece was black as....soot?

Ha! Check out the terrified look on Grace's face! Those sheep act like they're about to run you down... Not a pleasant feeling, I assure you.

Hehe...he likes flowers... *not laughing anymore* He ate my Hostas and Tulips...

We'll see you down the road!
