Yes, it was sunny today! Rain was expected, but it didn't happen. The sad part is...
I spent the entire day cooped up in the house...cleaning out closets and rearranging furniture. I'm not sure why. I just felt the need to purge and organize. Maybe it's because Fall is coming. I love Fall - AND football weather!
But, back to the sunny day...
This is the spot where our new house will be built. It was once a big dirty mess from having the dozer clear trees and smooth out a spot for the house pad. But, summer has turned it into a gorgeous, yellow, flowering paradise...at least for my boys and me.
Here's the drive you take to get there...
Eventually, it will be covered with gravel and concrete when you get up closer to the house. But, for now, it's dirt. I love driving (mostly on the golfcart) the kids around back here. We talk about where the house will be and where they'll be playing (even though they do get to explore back here now).
So, back to our flowering paradise. The flowers are taller than Ty, which makes for a super cool hiding place...except for all the spiders and bugs. ICK! I have a thing about spiders and creepy crawlers...
Speaking of creepy crawlers...I don't much like bees either...
The purple flowers are nice. But, if they come with these, I prefer to stay back.
Actually, I got a little close for these....
Wait a minute! Whose that sneaking into my line of view? AWE shucks, what a cute little rascal!
A rascal with really BAD hair. Poor kid...he's gonna look back on all these and say, "Sheesh, Mom, why'd you have to cut my hair like that!"
and then he'll hit me with a stick a few more times!
Watch the lens, buddy!
Back to our yellow paradise. AGAIN.
Upon closer investigation, it seems these are covered with creepy crawlies, too!
These bugs were everywhere! Literally! Does anyone know what the heck they are?
We are never without our pooches either...
Back into the golfcart. Did I mention we have carved trails all throughout our woods just for the golfcart? Pretty neat, huh. The kids love it!
the mailbox was here pre-Gurney family... it looks like it was used for target practice...
Always looking for treasures...
Ty spotted this one.
And, back out into the light of day...SUNSHINE!
Here's our view coming out of the woods on our soon-to-be driveway...eventually that entrance will be super cool!
Hope you enjoyed our adventure! Have a happy Monday!
how exciting! building is a lot of hard work, a bit frustrating at times and overall it's really fun! ahem...even if you are taking the 'slow' route!
that spot looks to be perfect! i love the wildflowers and those critters look like "lightening bugs" to me? they are EVERYWHERE here in georgia.
cute photos of the boys...and the dogs! wouldn't want to leave them out...
i hope your day is sunny today!
