A Walk in the Woods

Yesterday, with the sun out and the high supposed to be close to 50, the kids and I went out looking for spring. We definitely found some hope, plus it was so good to just be outside in the lovely woods. It is supposed to snow again tonight, that's the reality of winter's grip on us, but it won't be long, as seen by our little sprouts.

Green shoots, pushing up through the ground- we can't wait to come back in a few weeks and see what they are. We also spotted a crocus and a forsythia starting to bloom bright yellow.

Stopping to rest on the path...

Water break!

So happy together... (for a moment)

We counted the rings on this cut pine tree to see how old it was- about 17 years old!

Exploring an uprooted tree.

Better than a playground, a bouncy branch!
