home :: environment

To me home is outside as much as it is inside.  We decided to make our home in this part of the world due, in many respects, to the natural environment.  But lately I've been feeling disconnected from the natural wonder around me as the myriad of home improvement projects currently underway have relegated my wanderings away from the homestead to hardware stores and home improvement meccas.

This weekend we played a little hooky and spent the day hiking and picnic-ing at a nearby state park.  So much a reminder that nature truly nurtures.  And that our little family needs to spend more playful time together as three, which not-so coincidently is the little one's new favorite word.  Three.

The day was also a reminder that, like the seeds on wispy tendrils pushing their way from a pod, the season is fleeting.  Thankfully we're nearing the end of the current round of house projects.  More to come on that soon.

Hi Sarah,

We all need to be reminded occasionally to take time for what is really important ~ spending quality time with loved ones.

After reading your blog earlier, I loaded up the kids and headed out to see what we could find at a nearby state park. On the way there, my daughter (who is recently potty trained) had an accident in the car so we had to go home... Maybe tomorrow! Thanks for the idea.
