I know that it is not super common for a Christian to also care about the planet. In my opinion, that is a shame. God created everything. He put us in charge of it to care for it. Why wouldn’t Christians care about the planet and do our part to take care of it? Anyway, I’ll get off my soap box.
We had our typical school day yesterday. Once Scott got home from work, I had to take off to get some lab work done. I was in a rotten mood, and the lab that made my appointment couldn’t actually do the blood tests. I stopped at Ace Hardware to look at paint colors, and of course the plants caught my eye. I have recently discovered Ranunculus, and have fallen in love with them. I brought this lady home with me.
I put her in a bigger pot right away, and hope she grows really big. We ate dinner on the back deck, and it was bliss. The weather was lovely and warm with a slight breeze. We decided that we were going to go for a short hike with the kids. We brought scavenger hunt check lists for the girls to do.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the trails were actually clean. I figured we could do some clean up and leave it better. I’m thrilled that we didn’t have to.
This is the girls’ favorite spot to find at this park. You can our picture from last year here; just swipe. While the girls took turns getting baths/showers, they painted their favorite part of the hike. It was fun to see what they each chose.
I don’t know about you, but getting in nature just calms my mind. There’s something peaceful and serene. Even with the kids squealing down the trails and allergies, it was so nice.
