| Have you ever wondered what it was that grabbed the tree and rolled it through the delimbing and cutting process? Here I am taking a picture from the back of the dinosaur of our picnic supper. |
 |
| Tailgate supper in the woods. |
 |
| Those pine logs are 16 footers. We speculated as to what they will be used as...have to ask Elv. |
 |
| This is where you'll find Elv 5 days a week all day long. |
 |
| Drawing and please don't notice. |
 |
| Now this is strictly a pose and not a very good one. Everybody is entirely too aware of how pretty she is. |
 |
| Wood violets and you CANNOT capture the color on camera...at least I can't. |
 |
| Dog tooth violets |
 |
| Scouting for a bouquet of blossoms for Mom. |

| Lance often says, "Mom, what are you thinking about...are you thinking about me?" He doesn't have a clue how much I think about him and pray for him and for his future. |
I just had to comment on the picture of Lance. I have been amazed over and over at how much he looks like my brother. I know my Mom spends lots of time praying for my brother and his future as well.

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteUh! You make me wonder who else is lurking and reading these scribbles. Just in case, Hello Delores and all your children! :)
Yeah I remember 17. For me though, it was a good age. All the fun of being an adult, with out the responsibility. And then I was nineteen, and Clark came along, and the rest was fast paced history. :)
ReplyDeleteSeventeen was the best year for me too. I helped Lilly a lot. Felt free and happy with no big scary problems. Life was right. And that's when I started thinking about Dru...
ReplyDeleteI like your family, and we have good memories of picniking in your woods and picking blackberries.....I can't wait to do more of it w/my family!
ReplyDeleteI liked your post, but it made me want to cry. I miss the picnics in the woods. Seventeen was my favorite year, like Lisl and Charlotte said. Happy Birthday to Lance too, and I miss him a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post. Happy birthday Lance. Our basement is ready for you if by any chance you decide to show up tomorrow or tonight. We'll even leave the door unlocked for you!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures and about your life Arla. I look at my big sisters and always think about I want to be in "that" stage of life!. You must make it look nice at least! :)
When I grow up I'm going to make sure to do this kind of thing with my family.
