A Walk through the Cottonwoods





Not the actual river...as a disclamer...not that the Rio Grand is really that grand at least not at this point in the river. BUT its water, nonetheless.


Today we went on a walk through the Cottonwoods along the river. It was a beautiful early November day and the leaves are just losing their color of fall. I had to take one more walk through the colors before it was until next fall that I got to see them. How better than to do it with our dear friends. Hayden's best friend's mom is conveniently one of my dear friends and so nature provided a beautiful play area and a quiet place to talk and walk for us. I love this little spot I've just found. It is busy on the weekend, but during the week it is quiet and today we had it virtually to ourselves. The boys got to run off A LOT of energy. Hoping that this naptime is extended today so I can blog, bath the dog and mow the lawn one last time. Anyway, the pictures don't do it justice. But walking in a tunnel of very big, very old yellow colored cottonwoods was just a great way to end the work week, if my work week in fact ever does end. Onto dog bathing now.



Unleashing their energy on the woods. Little boys being little boys.



Finding a dead tree limb to ride


Finding a mound to climb


Hanging out and catching our breath at a fortuitously downed tree trunk.


Even Clare appreciates nature. God's toys. Hayden on yet another tree trunk.
