We are very blessed to have a really wonderful nature preserve right in the middle of our community. We were there a few weeks ago. Abigail is fascinated by all things related to nature and is often collecting as we hike. She said to me, "Mama, look how many nature things I have. I'm a super good nature gill!" Of course, she was trying to say, "girl" but anyone who has heard her talk knows that her r's need some work. :)
Mama and the nature gill
A panoramic view
Adam caught grasshoppers- they were leaping away with every footstep!
Milkweed
Beautiful!
A praying mantis
As Summer into Autumn slips by Emily Dickinson
As Summer into Autumn slips
And yet we sooner say
"The Summer" than "the Autumn," lest
We turn the sun away,
And almost count it an Affront
The presence to concede
Of one however lovely, not
The one that we have loved --
So we evade the charge of Years
On one attempting shy
The Circumvention of the Shaft
Of Life's Declivity.
