We took our nature walk to the creek today. We had a blast! It looks so beautiful down there. Only a few complaints. There are tire marks in the meadow going onto the Seaton land. Someone took down the line going across the property line. There are several trees that have been burned also. And my favorite briar patch is GONE. And it's on MY LAND! Why can't people respect my land? I am going to price markers of some sort and put bounderies and signs up stating "No motorized vehicles allowed". If that keeps up afterwards, then post NO TRESPASSING signs... after that, I'll file a complaint to the sherriff's office. Driving down the hill is fine, but not on the walking path and in the meadow. It just ruins it!

The boys got a chance to float Sea Crawler down the rapids. That was a hoot! Miles lost the line at one point and I went into the creek after it *BRRRR* it was cold! But felt SOOOO good. Mendel's shirt got washed away down stream. We found it though... and then Mendel went in after Miles shirt. We spent a good hour down there watching the fish jump and listening to sounds of nature. It was so refreshing.

We took a water break before we headed back up to the house. It is getting hot here but I think I handled it fine. I am searching for my mist sprayer for summer time. The boys are already asking when we will go camping. I'll have to plan a few days for that.

They have buddies coming to spend the night this Friday night so I will be extra cleaning the house! I am thinking of planning a camp out for them and their friends sometime this spring and summer. That will be loads of fun! A camp out, a cook out and lots of swimming! I am actually excited for summer this year. Maybe the allergy won't be as bad this year and I can enjoy the land. I can't wait!
