SUMMER??

We've been enjoying the most amazing summer weather ever! We haven't had one horribly hot, humid day yet. I really hope I'm not jinxing things by writing this!!!!


Today, Tommy and I, along with Sofia and Vincent (my niece and nephew) decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and go for a hike in the woods. Of course I took along my camera and would like to share some pics from our day with you.

Usually by July this woods feels like some sort of tropical rain forest. Not today! We didn't even break out in a sweat on the way home when we were walking uphill the whole way.


There is an old, falling down, stone house in our woods that is always a fun place to explore and imagine who lived here so long ago. They would have been one of the closest neighbors to our house.
No matter which way we head out on a hike, and no matter which trail we take, the goal is always to get to a creek. Today we visited the creek at the bottom of "old house trail". On super hot days, this is always a great place to sit in the water and really cool off. We didn't need to do that today, but we did have fun exploring anyway.








We enjoyed eating our dinner out on our side patio. There was a very cool breeze blowing and it really didn't seem strange to be eating soup for dinner in July.
Boomer is definitely enjoying this gorgeous evening!

It's probably too much to wish for for this great weather to continue for the rest of the summer, but I'm sure planning on enjoying it while it lasts!

I'm so glad to read another of your blogs! Looks like you have had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful weather! What a pretty woods you hiked in!
We had soup today after church and that seemed a bit strange as well!
Then, after evening church tonight, we went to our town's fireworks display! (It was rained out on the 4th so they had it tonight!) It was really nice and I actually got cold! Sooo unusual for this time of year in Indiana!
Thanks for your pictures of some of your homeschool days with your kids. This next year will be my first time having two kids homeschooled...at least first in a very long time. I am really excited about having them do it via video (that is computer streaming...)
Keep up the good work with your blogs and the beautiful pictures!
In Christ,
Beth

I love the pictures and the idea that Sofia and Vince get to take the trail now, too. Sure do miss the walking and hiking. You are truly blessed to live on this great property.

love you....mom and dad
