Brain dump.
I’m not an all the time sunshiny person and I think it’s important to be honest with anyone following me. But obviously, most importantly, I think it’s important to show that to the kids! Not in a doom and gloom kind of way, but I think in expressing our feelings honestly and calmly, we show our children that feelings of all kinds are normal and okay, even as adults.
I always have a rough time in February. And apparently specifically this week in February. Thanks to Facebook memories, after I made plans this morning to head to the gardens, I saw that I’d had the exact same idea last year. I apparently always need a reminder about color and the coming warmth at this point. And I can always count on this tree to provide.
Have you been to Green Spring Gardens? It’s one of our favorites and I can say confidently that we visit at least once a season (I visit more with clients for photo sessions). We squished around in the mud on the trail, we checked on the creek, we crossed all the bridges, we watched some ducks (which we photographed and will identify).
One hour outside.
