Today was a beautiful day! I went outside and worked in the yard a bit. I was able to pick raspberries and gooseberries with my little girl. Of course, she was more interested in eating them than picking them. I can't say that I blame her they were really yummy! I am hoping to save up enough of these berries so I can try canning them. It is such a liberating experience to be able to pick your own berries and then can them. How wonderful to be able to know exactly where your food comes from. I love it! I have learned so much since I have been here!
My little girl and I topped the day of with admiring the lightning bugs or as we like to call them "blinkings".She was so excited when one of the blinkings decided to land on her. She didn't know if she should be scared or laugh. I told her baby the blinkings like you. After that she laughed and decided to play with it. So, that gave me the idea to go back into the house and get her bug cage. For the next half our we ran all over the place looking for blinkings to catch. After catching the blinkings to our hearts content we decided to run back into the house and show daddy. Once daddy got a good look we took our new friends back outside to be released. I was such a special moment to share with my girl. She is already looking forward to the next time we can go out an catch some more blinkings. I can't wait!
