Well, one thing I have NOT been doing is taking pictures! We were very busy early in the week, splitting and stacking firewood. We still have a huge pile of "rounds" to split that have been piled behind the garage since before we moved. However, these will have to wait until freezing weather drives away the hornets! We split one open to find a nest that was, thankfully, no longer being used. I hate to think if there were still hornets in that one!
One afternoon Chuck and Daniel found a couple of wild plum trees. The children and I will be going back out there this afternoon if the rain lets up. Maybe this time we will pick more than we can eat and make some jelly!
Yesterday we went hiking out at the Porcupine Mountains. We first visited Lake of the Clouds and walked a little half-mile trail down to a bridge in the valley. We call this the "famous bridge" because about two years ago Chuck took a video of the children running down this bridge. We didn't have any way to take video this time, but they did "reinact" the "famous" scene. It was too much fun! After that we drove to another trail by some falls. That was the area we visited the very day before we found out our little Hope had died. It is such a beautiful place, and it was good to go back. Check out the pictures Chuck took while we were there!
It is raining this morning, but I hope it will clear up this afternoon. Still, we need the rain so I'm enjoying it! Okay, Grandmas (and others) I promise this will be the last update without pictures of the kids. *grin*
God bless!
