good moments all around

Friday morning Bailee invited me to run with her at a local nature preserve. It's not far from our house but I never really consider running anywhere but my usual routine, out my back door. We ran two miles together then I ran a couple more by myself. It was beautiful! I'll be going back. 

Later that day Bailee and I made a treat, Cheese Danishes. We decided to try a few with strawberry and raspberry jam. Yum!!

Earlier in the week Bailee started looking for kittens online to adopt. Oscar has been gone for a year and we need a mouser. Then on Wednesday Cali left two dead mice at the front door. She must have heard us talking and she's not about to let a cute kitten move in on her territory. Thursday there was another dead mouse. We've stopped looking.. :D

I'm loving the fields around here. All the fields are either corn or soybean. These are soybeans. I love the colors they've turned as the growing season comes to an end. The corn fields around here as just as beautiful. I love how straight the rows are. I love how tall the stalks grow. I love how the grass around the fields are mowed and green. 

Throughout this upcoming season, I need to remember there's so much to love here. There's beauty every       where. 

I don't think I've mentioned that Carson was casted in the "Pippi Longstocking" musical!! He's VERY excited!! He got the part of one of the robbers. I think he's mostly in the first act though. He was wishing he had more lines. After his second rehearsal I picked him up and the first thing he said was, "I like singing!!" We were both surprised with the realization. I'm so glad he's enjoying this. I hope he continues to enjoy every moment.
