moms and kids

Gorgeous weather.  A quiet little state park.  My good friend and theirs.  Water, fire, hiking, drawing, eating, laughing...

I wrote in my journal while they drew in theirs:
"At the lookout on switchback trail.  Amazing views of the valley below, just beginning to pop orange and red and gold.
Last night barred owl called as we crawled into our tents.  Today at lunch we ducked out heads as walnuts dropped from the tall, tall tree in camp.
Tree frogs and toads called until morning.  Just this last time.
We took the short trail to the big deep spring.  Huge water bubbling out of the rocks.  Cold.
Deep green watercress growing all around."

Feeling so lucky to have this in my life.  Wishing you love and a bit of lovely nature in yours as well.
