Tara and Tim spent some time with me yesterday. I was doing a little gardening at Lloyd and Lauren’s, so they came over there. Lloyd suggested we all go check out the fort. It’s only a short walk from Lloyd and Lauren’s house. The route took us through a field full of wildflowers. It felt like the closing credits of Little House on the Prairie.
The flowers were beautiful!
The fort area was a little difficult to work in. There were LOTS of mosquitoes. Fortunately, we had soaked ourselves in bug spray. There was also quite a bit of poison ivy. I get nervous around poison ivy because I have a reaction to it. Tara and Tim added some sticks to the wall, but I mostly just stood still and tried not to touch anything.
A sturdy construction.
Tara and Tim continued our time together with a trip to Runza, then we went back to their house to play Minecraft. It was a good day
Nice legacy this clan is leaving for the area – now when does the deck and satellite dish go in? 😉
The flowers look beautiful! Thank you so much!
That fort is a thing of …. beauty. Although, I felt much fonder toward it until you told me it has poison ivy growing INSIDE it. I’m also surprised you all didn’t come back covered in ticks.
Nice picture of the flowers!
I like the field picture too….but my 1st thought was….well, it was actually a song:
You’re out of the woods,
You’re out of the dark,
You’re out of the night,
Step into the sun,
Step into the light….”
(Even though they’re going the wrong way & the flowers are wrong….that was my thought….there are least 4 of you…..that part is right)
I had to look that up. I know the tune really well, but didn’t know the words.
Those round pinkish flowers look awfully like “red clover”. If it is, you can pull a tuft of them out by the roots and sample the roots with your teeth and tongue. If it’s red clover, it will be a nice sweet taste….the kind that honeybees like.
Your “Fielding and Forting” looked like lots of fun in spite of nature’s other presence–mosquitoes and poison ivy.
