Ready for a Walk With Grammie

Melanie has a bit of a cold so I had her come over to my house and take a nap, while I watched the baby. Mei-Ling was all ready for a walk in the woods with her Grammie, right down to her little tiny red cape with the words, " a walk in the woods" written on it. Her big black eyes wide with expectation. Smiles all over her face as I grab her up in my arms and sing a little song in her ear.
Melanie, thankful for a bit of sleep.

The wonder and delight of a child is priceless, something to be encouraged and built upon.

How blessed I feel to have another round of such joy. It was wonderful to have such times with my own 4 children and now I have the opportunity to share walks in the woods with grand-blessings and teach them about plants, animals along with bits and pieces of old time wisdom my own grandmother taught me about such things as telling the weather from the clouds, and about the many signs of each season. Simple pleasures.
