Grandpa has a new intern for his lawn business. #mowing #mower #lawncare
It’s bunny season. Equal parts cute and dreadful. The dreadful part has nothing to do with our garden. Although we do have a few visitors sitting around the fence perimeter considering possibilities for entrance they have not been able to penetrate the fence. The dreadful, really, very dreadful part of this time of year is the circle of life. Our kitty Lincoln is an excellent critter controller. It is a very needed asset for our property. The difficulty is keeping the victims alive! So far so good this season. It has been mostly a catch and release type of year. Lincoln catches the prize and I release the bunny and give it an opportunity to get away. It has been tricky as he is not so inclined to let go of his prizes. Sometimes a little bribe will do....other times it’s rather comical trying to negotiate the terms. What our King of the forest does with his catches while we are busy is left to the circle of life. This has provided much education to our daughters on the real and present understanding of how animals fit in the local ecosystem. Both delightful wonder and somber reality. #nature #virginia #spring
Perfect nearly summer day for a hike. We gathered some snacks and water then went to a nearby trail. Plenty of interesting animals were found along the way as well as some more four leaf clovers. #hikevirginia #fourleafclover #hikingwithkids #battlefield #getoutside
Jay Beagle #83! He dashed right over to all the kids and gave them high fives. He took his time and let the kids say a few words. That’s a class act right there and perfect example of why DC loves their C A P S! Caps! Caps! Caps! Caps! #dcparade #washingtoncapitals #captialsvictoryparade #allcaps #jaybeagle #jaybeagle83
Our view for the Caps victory parade in Washington DC. Plenty of excited happy fans. We met some excellent people and cheered loudly for the champs! #gocaps #dclife #washingtoncapitals #parade
This handsome chap took me out for an afternoon at a winery. We enjoyed a glass of Merlot with some cheese and crackers while we watched the rain clouds move in. #datesunday #winery #virginiawinecountry #virginiawine #willowcroftfarmvineyards
Evening tidbits left behind from a day outdoors. Sea shells from a beach vacation that seem to always be found around our garden and a unicorn headband that is the new favorite accessory. A day well enjoyed, I love seeing these pieces of our day scattered around. #children #dusk #piecesofmyday #unicornheadband #seashells
She’s all done. Just like that high school graduation happens and that first baby you brought home from the hospital is in line receiving her diploma. End of Act I a brief intermission and the start of Act II will begin. #classof2018 #highschoolgrad #graduation2018
