We'll Be Outside

"We see in nature clear marks of design, and design argues a creator." Spurgeon

how beautifully put. Such a gentle touch of truth. I'm not familiar with Spurgeon, but I have stumbled upon his quotes more than once and they resonate deep, leaving a lasting impression. I think we may find our way to the library so I can check out an actual book- something Spurgeon,..

From the deepest part of me grows this desire to be outside, barefoot in the sunshine. It's the littlest, simplest, most natural form of happiness to me. It's how I picture my daughters growing up. A favorite daydream.. them splashing in a small stream long side our property, picking apples from our favorite tree for an afternoon snack.. A day spent in the garden or a stroll in the woods, a roll in the grass... I want to spend rainy days on a screened in porch and chilly nights around a fire under the glow of stars... 

Yes, yes, call me a dreamer and I'll claim it confidently. I think its the best thing to be.

Children are better off outside. collecting sticks, picking flowers..They know it.  Just ask them. 


as you can see, Liberty is in a serious dress phase and I'm always wearing Loretta.

We're slowly making the transition out of hibernation and things are good. God, I love spring.
Soon I'll be spending all my money on plants and ice cream.
