Green Springs Adventure

  There was a lovely day this week
 to check out something OUTSIDE.
Green Springs Gardens- Alexandria, VA.
The pond had geese and babies
 and turtles rising to the top of the pond
 to let sunshine dapple their heads.
 The big boys were the Adventure leaders. 
We did ALL the paths
 and they got to choose which way to go.
 Little guy loved screeching
 and cuddling Slothy.
 The Hydrangeas are in their 
glory days right now.

 There was plenty of place to run and "just be." 
 If it was a bit more crowded
 we whipped on our masks.
 Outings are a bit more challenging 
these days as the bathrooms are not "open."
We won't be gone long.
 Big Brother Levi told Isaiah-
"you need to hold my hand."
SO of course, 
Gigi is pushing the stroller behind- 
no one wanted to ride in it.
 And in this quiet moment I prayed 
for all the "quarantine mommas."

Dear Heavenly Father,
YOU SEE these days and how hard
 they are all working to hibernate 
little families together 
and keep the normal working for them.
 Give these mommas courage, fortitude and 
creativity to lean into this precious time together.
Bless them with health and safety.
We lift them up to you
 for your tender care. Amen.



1 Thessalonians 5:11
"Therefore encourage one another
 and build each other up,
 just as in fact you are doing."
