Pictures from This Week

We went on a long walk Sunday evening and walked through the parking lot of school to get to another neighborhood.  They have stopped mowing the grass at school and we picked tons of flowers to make some bouquets.

On Tuesday we hiked the Harpeth Woods Trail in Edwin Warner Park.  It was a 2.5 mile loop trail that was better than we expected.

The boys found 3 snakes (all non-venomous).  I got pictures of the first two but the third one was in the river and swam away before I got there (we think that one was a diamondback water snake).

Ratsnake:

Ringneck snake:

Also, more beautiful wildflowers!

Early Buttercup (Ranunculus Fascicularis):

Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia Virginica):

Fernleaf Phacelia (Phacelia Bipinnatifida):

Striped Cream Violet (Viola Striata):

Wild Comfrey (Cynoglossum Virginianum):

The leaves are starting to fill in!  Less stark winter trails!

After we finished the hike we played in the Little Harpeth River for a bit.

Yesterday we changed things up and got our these instead of the hammocks since I was going to mow the grass.

The house fitch babies are starting to look a little more like birds!  I can now pick out some beaks and their feathers are coming in!

My mom made us all some masks.  The boys really like theirs!
