day in the life

My day started with brunch with some friends.

I love brunch.  I love friends.  And I love life!

I'd like to just run, jump, & click my heels, you know?

  

 My baby turned ONE last week!

I know, wow!

 The arrival of Spring's glorious green has done

wonders to my spirits.

My word, that was some winter!

 I crave the library.

Like once a week.

Books & Spring.  Ah!

 Afterschool porch munching.

It's the best.

  A favorite quote by Jaroldeen Edwards.

 Also the BEST:

random picnics in the mountains.

I spied this hidden path a few weeks ago

and knew I could turn it into an adventure.

I didn't know where it led or what was on it

but today we packed a picnic, some books 

& just started walking down the trail..

It turned out to be a secret place,

right up against the mountain!

Mia & I were immediately reminded of the book,

Heidi, which we are reading together.

 Climbing the "Alm"...

by the way, that book is so great.

I can't believe we've never tried goat's milk.

Or seen a real barrel organ.  Or slept on hay.
and yes, Ella is in her jammies. 
Her outfit of choice most days.

Anyway.

 We were re-enacting Laura Ingalls

running as the credits roll on the show. 

 Remember that part?

It was a good day in the life, friends.

Enjoy this amazing season!
