This spring, we all had a few free hours one evening
so we headed to Green Pond.
Rascal joined us for his first time.
This was only Zac's second time to the pond
as we heard about it and hiked it lots with Hunter
when Zac was on his mission in the Carolinas.
Zac says he loves this beautiful little hike too!
Vickie and her family were wanting to go hiking
so a few weeks later we got to visit
Green Pond with them.
It was exciting to see the difference
a few weeks made in the plants.
The trees had all leafed out.
We saw critters in all shapes and sizes...
(Robin eggs)
(little snake)
(someone's dog)
and picked up pebbles along the hike
to try and skip across the pond.
We also found lots of mud!
;)
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts.
There is something infinitely healing
in the repeated refrains of nature --
the assurance that dawn comes after night,
and spring after winter.”
-Rachel Carson
