Log Flume Heritage Site

I have enjoyed having my family staying with me all week.  Yesterday, we took a hike at a nearby log flume heritage site, and I thought I’d share a few photos with you.  Click here here for a map.

This is an easy hike with some of the logging history of the area.  There is plenty of wildlife, including beaver, but with noisy grandchildren in tow, I concentrated more on the flora rather than the fauna.

And last, but not least, my almost five year old grandaughter modeling the stylish way to wear a raincoat.  She wore it that way all day.

Happy Easter

Easter Week

See the land, her Easter keeping,

Rises as her Maker rose.

Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,

Burst at last from winter snows.

Earth with heaven above rejoices;

Fields and gardens hail the spring;

Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices,

While the wild birds build and sing.

You, to whom your Maker granted

Powers to those sweet birds unknown,

Use the craft by God implanted;

Use the reason not your own.

Here, while heaven and earth rejoices,

Each his Easter tribute bring-

Work of fingers, chant of voices,

Like the birds who build and sing.

~Charles Kingsley

Hope

All it takes is one bloom of hope to make a spiritual garden.  ~Terri Guillemets

Spring is coming to my garden!
