May 29: In Search of Summer


We took a little stroll in the country this morning-- a stunningly beautiful, magical spot in the country that Ben and I have been to, but have never actually seen (we picked up a friend there once at dusk, not realizing it was this whole arboretum). Quite the little adventure, complete with mythic structures, a treehouse, some horses, this beautiful old building, and so so many beautiful plants (oh, and some amazing barbecue sandwiches in a little town on the way home). Oh, it was wonderful, and all I could manage was turning to Ben every now and then and saying, "I'm so happy." What a gift it is to discover the freedom that we have in our family to explore the world together.

Where have your weekend wanderings taken you?

Isn't that an amazing place and a gorgeous drive. We were actually there just a few weeks ago on Mother's Day weekend. I loved it! You now have to go to the DC Arboretum. Let's plan a fieldtrip there soon.

Oh, how funny! I remember reading that post-- I must have subconsciously remembered it! Yes, we would love to get together at the national arboretum... I can't wait to see how it's similar and different.
