An End to Summer
School started on Tuesday and I just couldn't let my daughter start school without one last visit to my parent's farm. We had a wonderful week of enjoying nature and other local activities that were all free.
Cool evening breezes to rock in
Sisters to play with
Slides to ride
Grammies to hug
Birthdays to celebrate
Tractors to ride
Free zoos to visit
Even free hair eating to boot'
Funny faces to make
Webs to conquer
Farmer markets to sample
Evening rides along the creek
Morning walks through the wildlife preserve
Wildflowers and weeds in the ditch to clip
It was a wonderful way to bring summer to a close. Just a few more sweet memories of a summer's past. The memories will be priceless and oh so precious as she grows older. She will never once stop to think about the amount of money I spent on those memories. She will never know that we didn't have any money to budget towards a summer vacation. She will only remember the things we did, not the things we didn't do.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Ah yes school is back. xoxo
Wow! Those are awesome pictures. I can really tell that they enjoyed their trip to the farm. You made a good decision. Family bonding and at the same time being close to nature is really great. I remember my visits to my grand parents' farm and I can still feel the excitement I have during those times.
