Walking

Things were crazy at my house today and I felt myself heading in the direction of crazy myself so I decided to sneak away and take a quick walk - after all if I have to have teenagers in my home I should make use of them right? I asked them to watch the little ones for me - they quickly agreed - I must have been more cranky than I realized :0)!! So off I went with Esther in the sling. Well, I actually had to put the other little ones back in the house several times and tell them Mommy needed to go alone - big brothers would be watching them -I would only be gone 20 minutes. So after attemping to sneak away I finally got my walk started. I took my camera just for fun to see what might strike my fancy.

I loved the deep blue of these Hydrangas
I was thinking of my friend Kim over at Ross' Country Cottage when I took this picture

I wish they made scratch and sniff photos - this huge pile of cedar chips smelled SO good toasting in the sunshine

Everytime I pass this house when I'm walking I have to laugh. The owners have filled their yard with these unusally shaped trees - there are many differet shapes - I think they mush just LOVE Dr. Suess - these trees are living versions of the ones in his books!!

Yum - these looked so good

And finally a sure sign summer is drawing to a close - the colors looked so pretty against the blue sky!!

I came home from my walk relaxed and much happier - there is something so good about looking outside myself and seeing the world from a different point of view!!
