Hiking Bill Yeck Park

I asked one of our regulars at the shop where he likes to hike and he recommended Bill Yeck park, which I'd never heard of. Always down to explore new places in nature, I had the good fortune of having a sunny warm Friday off of work. I loaded up Steve and we set off for adventure. It was a pretty darn lovely place to hike for sure, I was kind of concerned about getting lost a lot of the time though. Also there was a part called wild flower hillside, and there were no wild flowers on any hillside, so that was a mild let down, haha. Nonetheless I had fun watching Steve sniff around like a wild man, and bravely jump into the stream for some light swimming. Between that and yoga, I could barely move that evening, and spent it cleaning up my laptop(spring cleaning, lol!). I sure do love my little exploring partner :)

I must have crossed at least 5 of these in different places which got confusing and made me wonder if I was going in circles.

Deer tracks!!

Apparently, Steve is part meerkat.

Most interesting tree EVER

another...

and another!

Love my baby :)

The Beauty in a Regular Daily Walk

Some days you're too caught up in your thoughts and the hustle and bustle of getting from point A to point B. Other days, you stop and see all the little things and your walk becomes a beautiful work of art. 

Pretty trees outside of "The Church"

A beautiful butterfly posing for me on some bright flowers.

A cute acorn sticker nestled onto the side of a car.

Flowers draped elegantly onto Steve'e head.

My beautiful majestic baby who gets me out and about every day :)

Sprouts are sprouting

 Planted  on Thursday the 14th, and four days later on Monday the 18th the first signs of life have appeared!! I'm tickled pink! I can't wait to keep measuring their progress. I can't remember what I planted in each pot either haha, so it will be a fun surprise!

EDIT 4/22/16 hired a man to mow the lawn and he knocked over two pots(what an imbecile. Won't be hired again!) I saved all the babies I could find it was truly heart breaking but I think they will be alright!

Pansy Report: They are still alive, I haven't murdered them.

Spring Gardening

The weather has been in peak conditions this week and my allergies have been off the wall. With zyrtec and nasacort in my system, I'm still able to function without looking like I've got two black eyes! I made a trip to the dollar tree for some cheap supplies and found a lot of fun gardening stuff, so I figured that would be a fun thing to do with my roomie. We also spent a day shopping around at various garden centers. I swear I'm becoming my Mom, I used to hate plant shopping now I'm so into it, I want to buy all the plants and I'm okay with it. So we planted all these seeds in pots for the the front yard, and I'm so excited for them to sprout! I hope I inherited my mother's green thumb as well. We bought some pansys for my hanging plant, and I got a cactus and a pathos plant for my room. It was a great day spent outside with Courtney!

Got my shovel form the spot at Target!

Grow babies, grow!!

I'll post progress shots as all the children grow :)
