Happy 4th!

I had the honor of being stationed in Washington, D.C. for a couple of years. I fondly remember watching the Fourth of July fireworks display from the roof of our building across the river. i would consider these to be the best seats in the house! The shows were definitely something I will always remember.

Remember what the day celebrates - our freedom.

Please remember those who help protect this freedom!

Wildflower Walks

I am back from my vacation! I had a wonderful time visiting my family. The trip there is a long one - but worth it. I just wish I was able to do it more often. I am starting slow with my posts upon my return to real life.

When I was visiting my parents at their cabin, we went on several walks. I took some pictures of some flowers and other nature-type things!

(just to see how they would turn out)

The flowers remind me of when I was little and we used to visit my Grandparents at their cabin just a few miles up the road. There were so many wild flowers that my sisters and I would go on walks and come home with "bouquets" for our mom and grandma. Our grandma had several old perfume bottles that we would use for vases. We would put our arrangements on the table outside usually. This is just one of the many wonderful memories I have about the cabin that I can (sorta) relive with these new nature walks.

I just wish I had a little perfume bottle!
