Walking in the Nature Preserve

We decide to take another walk around the Nature Preserve

This is called Upwood Meadows ... the fields have cattle in them in the summer so there are "stiles" between each field

Zoe (Barry's girlfriend) joined us this morning....as we were walking along this stretch someone was walking towards that looked familiar. It was my cousin Norman & he was very surprised to meet me in the woods!!




This is entering Lady's Wood where I played alot when I was a kid....it is so beautiful in the summer as there are so many wild flowers....it becomes "carpeted" with bluebells!





If you want a 6 mile hike you go in this direction which takes you to Great Ravely.



This is the pond we used to fish in....we would tie string around jam jars & scoop up tadpoles!

Looking back at Nigel & Susan's house........which is also the house we all grew up in.

This tree has a story.......when we were kids my brothers (all 3 of them) dared me to climb it. Hey, I was a tomboy I could do anything......problem was they all ran home & when I looked down there was a herd of cows staring up at me! I spent most of the afternoon in that tree & I still haven't forgiven them! I know how to carry a grudge!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real! Love

Forever Family Day

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLiđź’– Love
