Sunday walk in the woods with little brother

We were all crabby.  The parents had been trying to work.  It was Sunday morning.  There were interruptions.  Things were taking longer than anticipated.  We had promised the boys some time outside. But the work!  Boys were at each other. And then things erupted with big brother launching a rake -- metal side first -- at little brother.  Time out.  It just felt a mess.

So little brother and I headed into the woods.  I stomped and little brother pranced.  Because he was going to take me on a tour of the fairy grounds.  And so he did. 

And it changed everything.

These are pics from our walk.

                                            listening

                                    looking for fairy grounds

                                                    what we found

                and look who showed up (peeking there)

                                                for Hide and Seek

Thanks to the woods for saving our Sunday.

We had a parallel Sunday. After two hours in the woods, we were relaxed, smiling, and sharing hot cider. Loving and appreciating each other once again. Never underestimate the power of the forest. xoxo

Amen to that!
