It gets hot here in the summer. We have gradually figured out you can only push yourself so far before complete exhaustion. This realization led to early mornings around here.
Starting around 6 AM we are starting to get going. Usually we start the day with a morning walk around the farm. Whoever is awake joins in the walk/treasure hunt.
We said one of the goals of moving here was to give our kids some unique positive experiences. Well, walking here in the early morning highlights some pretty special aspects of living out here.
Here are their stories…..
We call this “Persistence”. This little kid turtle was spotted simply trying to cross the road. This little guy had a big dream, and with the sun on his back he kept moving.
We may or may not have scared the turtle until he peed (something I have never seen), and our youngest may or may not have touched it.
Full disclosure: He touched it and we immediately got to the house for detox.
