This past Saturday we had one of those perfect spring days. Even better, our son-in-love Todd, was in town and spent the weekend with us. Naturally Teacher Daughter Lisa and Local Son Curt and his family came over, too. We all took advantage of that beautiful weather and spent most of the day outdoors.
The morning was spent hiking in Purdue's Horticulture Park.
Curt helps Cowpoke Ian balance on a fallen tree.
Nash and Lukie both have an affinity for sticks of all sizes and tussled over several. Luckily there were PLENTY of sticks in the woods and they both were easily distracted with offers of "better" sticks.
Pony Pal Mila graced our walkways and driveway with chalk art and she drew two special pictures just for me.
"This is Abby, Grammy," she pointed out. "I even put her spots on her."
"And here's Pepper next to Abby."
Unfortunately, we didn't out to the barn to see the horses. I'm struggling with more spinal issues and am scheduled for a second spinal fusion in April. After all that hiking and the yard games, I just was not up to wrangling horses, gentle though they may be.
Still, it was a wonderful weekend, and as you might imagine, I am hoping that we won't get any rain for a few days so I can continue to enjoy that chalk art.
