Our little nature walk

We're going on a bear hunt....we're going to catch a big one


Then we made a friend....kids named him harry


Hi guys


Then we met Harry number 2





The keeper of the garden


My retirement home....a log cabin in the middle of nowhere..we'll take it


She's giving me design ideas


Looking for river creatures


Say cheese for mama...I could seriously just eat her up


My little monkey


My smallest princess in deep thought

Tis that time of year mmmmmmm


Nothing like fresh strawberries


So much fun



Now if we could get some in the basket instead of thinking it's a buffet



But they are yummy


And there goes another one


The field


Here we go 7 pounds of God's goodness...mmmm trust me it'll only last 2 days in our house



Do you go strawberry picking?

So beautiful



How thankful I am to have God....I always think I can't imagine my life without him, and how He has blessed me beyond words. Then I think of all those who don't believe or deny him and think how much they are missing out. I see a beautiful rainbow and think how can one who created such beauty be denied. How sad.

How sad and true of the times we live.


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ' I love you ' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
