The kids and I enjoyed the A-MAZING weather this afternoon with a hike. I took along my camera (imagine that) and took some pictures. Mavis and Lucy went along as well. About a half mile in, we realized that cats had followed us as well. No worries, everyone is safe at home this evening. No cats were left behind! Brad brought along his baseball and played fetch with the dogs. I love this pictures of Mavis. LOL.
The kids spent a lot of the afternoon exploring, drawing, getting dirty, and watching the wildlife in the pasture. We saw 2 geese, 1 eagle, and a dead squirrel. Guess which one the kids begged me to take a picture of???? I did NOT post that picture! Brad took off for awhile following cow paths down to the creek. The kids loves to explore and pretend. I also think it was a tough decision to decide which stick he was going to be able to bring home. He's a collector of odd things... but that's okay. He's a keeper. That damn Shrek hat he insists on wearing.. EVERYWHERE! It makes my heart happy seeings that only a few weeks ago, we were performing a musical and now we are stuck is social distancing. Perspective!

Mia spent most of the afternoon sketching..which I'm not allowed to post. (Damn teenager!) I'll sneak some drawing in this sometime. She's working on her sketch skills and her music concert from home on Friday. My house is constantly active, which I feel very blessed to be here for during this time. I do home that when they look back on this, some of their best memories will be the time we spent together.
In Brad's journal this evening, his favorite part of the day was visiting his favorite tree. In the pasture, there is this ugly dead tree that stands at the foot of a large hill by the creek. It's going to fall down sometime in a storm, but Brad insisted we go and visit that tree. I usually just pass this tree and don't think much up it. Today, I see it a little differently. It's is quite stunning. I added my new perspective to make probably one of my favorite photos I've taken. Thanks Brad for helping me see some new perspective today when you stop and look around.
Love- The Ruley Family
