It has become tradition to bring some sign of spring from the park
into the house ...
While last week we had snow coming down,
this week has brought us the most beautiful weather
with temps that feel almost like summer.
On, what I call the first day of spring,
the kids came for pancakes and a walk to the park down the hill.
The older ones on their scooters and Evy still in the stroller -
when it suited her.
The other part of the time I wondered why I was pushing a
stroller with whatever they did not want to carry.
First thing upon entering the park we saw this turtle sunning itself.
They dropped everything to check it out
but, too bad, it heard them coming!
We continued on down the path ...
and saw the pussy willows are out!
She did not know what they were and
was hesitant to touch them as first.
The playground was a good stop about the half way point around the lake.
The beaver dams got checked out but no beavers were home
with the water so low.
I have no idea how many times and seasons I've walked this path ...
from watching for buds, to crunching in leaves ...
it's been a thousand times over and more,
either with my H,
with a friend,
pushing a stroller on my own,
or trying to keep up with fast moving kids.
A place that has become very much a part of home.

Dear Helen, I just want you to know that I appreciate your visits,
leaving comments, even though we do not know each other in person.
May God bless you where you are.
That's a great variety of ages to enjoy this walk and exploring!
A wonderful Springy post!!! Such a beautiful day and walk. Your grandchildren are adorable - precious days spent with them. We are still waiting for those warm days, though we've had a taste of it this past week. Love the pussy willow picture!
