The kids and I went on a walk down by the river this weekend. We are having an unusually early spring and the temperature was just perfect for being outdoors. The kids had told me about this "heart rock tree" so I was eager to get a look. Last year people started leaving heart-shaped rocks all around, and wedged into, this tree - apparently with thoughts of a loved one. I'm very sentimental so I love stuff like this.
There's not much green to be seen.
Seed pod fluff stuck in the tree branches.
The river.
We stacked rocks into towers and the boys made a boat out of some driftwood that they launched into the current before we left.
A very enjoyable afternoon. Something I need to do more often.
