Summer Picnic

 I can't believe the wonderful weather we have been having on these weekends!! I just came in from the patio where I had my second cup of java and wrote a little in my journal. That is one of my favourite things to do on a sunny morning! Colin and Colton have gone off to church and Cody is playing his brand new Gameboy Advance he bought with his birthday money. Hannah is watching Dora and is waiting for her favourite 'Max and Ruby' to come on when Dora is over.

Yesterday Mike went out to the back of the property to cut down some trees to make way for the dozer that is coming this week to clear the trail to the back pastures. We need more pasture for the cows and there is plenty of it way back there we just need a laneway so we can get a truck out there too. So the kids and I packed a picnic lunch and went for a hike. It's over a mile and 1/2 to the very back of the property but we only hiked half way. We found a beautiful spot where we got out of the wind and ate our lunch, I swear I could have fallen asleep on that blanket if given the chance! It was so warm and cozy! Of course Hannah couldn't make it all the way back so Cody gave her a ride on his shoulders. She loved that.

No plans for today, just come what may. Though we really have to get out and mow that lawn as I still haven't tackled it. Tried to get the mower going the other day and couldn't and wouldn't you know it Mike gives it one tug and it goes. Grrr....I hate that thing but still haven't given in and purchased a more environment friendly push mower though the grass-cutting season is still young, lol!!
