Strawberry picking

We headed out to Heartland orchard this morning to do a little strawberry picking. The weather was perfect, sunny, cool and breezy. Sometimes I forget just how beautiful Virginia is and why I love Warrenton so much...because in 20 minutes you can be surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains and countryside. Rowan quickly lost interest in berry picking, but he enjoyed running through the rows, seeing the tractors and a few animals and just being outside on a beautiful day.

Talking to the chickens and goats.

Rowan's dates :)

10 months old!

"squirty thing"

Rowan was thrilled with my $1 bin find today. He has been calling it the "squirty thing". He played with it for hours. Should be fun this summer, until he squirts Eli with it...which I am sure will happen eventually, at least today he was pretty tame.

I love our backyard in the evening

Between 5-7 this time of year our backyard might be the prettiest lighting I have ever seen. My skills are so lacking in ability to capture it (hint photographer friends, please come over :) ) But I attempted. Wild phlox fills the untamed parts of our yard and surrounding area. It was a nice spring surprise.

Just like Pa

Happy Birthday Dad!
