a walk in the woods

yesterday the sun was shining, the air was crisp & the sky was blue.  and i longed to be outside.  so we shunned the to-do list for a few hours and took a nice long walk in the woods.  we talked about nature, discovered new paths, stopped & listened to the sounds of the woods and walked hand in hand.  it was a great learning experience, and a much needed break from the go-go-go lifestyle we have been living lately.  when we got home it was obvious that the fresh air and long walk were much needed.  everyone was calm and happy.  i felt invigorated & exhausted all at once...if that is even possible.  the kids settled in at the dining room table and drew pictures of what they saw in the woods and i put a pot of soup on the stove for dinner.  welcome fall!

Where are these photos from? Rodney and the boys have been looking for a good place to just take a stroll through the woods..a nature walk, but we can't find a place that isn't really overpopulated with people! This looks wonderful...
