It was a beautiful day after all! It has been raining all week long again, but not today. Mom and Cherie were not feeling so good when they got home yesterday, so the camp outing was canceled. Seems like every time we cancel our weekend plans, we have wonderful weather for an outdoor adventure. Oh well!
Jared asked me if I wanted to go for a walk after lunch to our lookout, so we both went for a stroll down the country road. I had fun with all the blue wildflowers and blue sky. I told Jared we were having a blue walk. The Lupine, Delphinium, and to my excitement....the Mountain Lady Slippers were all in full bloom. It is funny telling others about the Lady Slippers and that there are so many on our mountain. Everyone seems to think they are a rare flower. We have noticed every year in the same area clumps of them growing together were you can count up to 20 slippers in just one area. They are not rare where we live!
Jared and I had fun chasing the butterflies and moths gathering on the moist road for a drink. There were even a bunch of the "Blue Azure" little Butterflies to top our blue walk with!We even took time to hunt for the Elk prints in the soft ground were Jared saw one earlier this past week.I asked Jared what kind of man he saw reflected in the mud puddles in our driveway...how true the statement that " A measure of a man's own heart he can see, only if he looked with open eyes at his own reflection". Such little things in life are so special....a walk with my brother, wonderful weather, colorful wildflowers, and chasing butterflies. What a joy and blessing!
