Reading your post was uplifting and joyful, Julie! Our falls are drab in comparison with your fall leaves. I did find a solid yellow leaf from a wild cherry tree this am;-)
Your success as a mom is reflected in your confidence about letting them run around the lake, without you slinking through the woods to monitor their activity. Freeing for all. Good days are often because we make them so.
I love that your kids are running on trails - there's something about being surround by God's perfection while using one's body to rejoice in it! Hooray for your kids, hooray for your being such a good mom to pour into them.
To answer your always-great questions: I'm so thankful I could visit a place from my childhood and youth this weekend: the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. The water temp was mild, the sun was warm, the sand was soft, I closed my eyes and opened them to take in that magnificent body of water. The air smelled so fresh, I felt so free and so blessed.
Wonderful, wonderful post! It’s lovely that you have running in common with the kids - I loved reading about their run around the lake. Awesome! As for Mary’s artwork - just wow! 😍
Thank you for reading and your message yesterday. I hope you had a wonderful Monday. :) I agree...isn't Mary B.'s artwork awesome! It makes me smile everytime I look at it. Plus the "Mama moose" makes me giggle.
Love the collab with Mary!
Thank you Amie!
I was so excited to receive her beautiful work.

Thank you so much Gary, Oh I'm happy you found some yellow down there. I sure would miss the changing colors.
Thank you for the compliment. I'm so happy to get the time outdoors with them and explore.
Have a great Monday and hope all is well on your end.

Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for your kind message today. I see how much my kids love the wild and how curious they are. It's beautiful and encouraging.
I've been thinking about Nollaig. Sending her hugs.
