Recently, my oldest turned thirteen.
I wasn't ready!
Honestly, some days I wish that the hands of time could be turned back to her infancy and I could redo so much.
She's a good kid, but bless her heart, her mother has a horrible temper.
She wanted her ears piereced. They are now.
My young teen is beautiful but dealing with an old-fashioned, ridiculously conservative mama is going to stretch her...and stretch the old mama at the same time.
I'm praying for elasticity.
Here are a few more wildflowers:
Roundleaf Groundsel
Wild Violet
Fringed Puccoon
Of course, while tramping over prairie and through the woods, we're already seeing the wildlife that the warmer spring temperatures are rousing. The snakes are already active.
This is just one of several I've already seen.
Some type of water snake
And one of my favorite hiking companions is the three-legged dog.
Now to wake up kids and start the day!
Blessings, Julie

Yep! Age thirteen is the year of earrings. That was the first time I ever passed out - watching my older sister get her ears pierced at JC PENNEY's. She about passed out too. Then we both almost threw up in the shoe department. Was that an exciting day for our mom, or what?
You are doing a great job, Julie.
Fun pictures...except the snake part. ;-) I think that was reason #42 that I moved to Alaska...no snakes. HA!
I love the wildflowers. Haven't seen any in the desert as of yet. Will let you know if I come up with any. :)
Love your wildflower photos! And, the snake, too. We saw two snakes last month on our land. I love 'em!
