Mother’s Day

Posted by Cindy on May 16, 2009

Being a mom is truly one of the most precious gifts the Lord blesses us with!  I have wonderful children and I thank God so much for them – their sweet little hearts, their funny spirits, their creativity – the list goes on and on!  Here are just a few memories from Mother’s Day this year.

Mahayla made me a homemade bouquet of flowers.

She (and Steve) made me a flower press.  She even started a wildflower nature journal for me to use!

Caleb was inspired by our trip to the Cincinnati Art Museum and made a sculpture for me.

We were so lucky to be able to spend Mother’s Day afternoon with Steve’s grandma and family!

I hope your Mother’s Day was just as special!

Mushroom Nature Study

Posted by Cindy on May 8, 2009

Spring is such a fun time for studying mushrooms!  It’s been raining a lot around here and a quick trip around the yard led to six different types of mushrooms found in about five minutes time yesterday.

Towards evening, we headed to a spot on the farm where leftover hay has been decomposing.  What treasures we found there!

If you’ve never taken a mushroom walk, now is a great time to do it!  Damp ground, decomposing logs, old leaf piles, and dung piles are great places to look.
