Blooms, Hiking and Umbrellas

taking a moment to find joy in the little things

We've continued to have gorgeous spring weather. It's so fun to see signs of new life every where you look.

I posted a different shot of this road yesterday in black and white. I've been wanting to get this shot for quite some time, and earlier this week I finally got it. I just love this road from this perspective.

We had a busier than normal weekend and weren't able to get out as a family. Thankfully my husband had Monday off and the weather was perfect for getting out. We enjoyed a lovely hike (even though the trail we wanted to take was closed) and had a great day.

Earlier this week one of my instagram prompts was "rain". Well, it wasn't raining, but I had the bright idea to take the girls and their new umbrellas across the street to the park. I posed them to get a few shots...

then they started doing this...

jumping off benches and garbage cans to see if the umbrellas would catch wind and open

maybe they want to be Mary Poppins?

Also, this is a common sight when I look out the window. The girls enjoy giving each other rides in the wheelbarrow. Kids don't need toys - they need wheelbarrows!
