Your ritual sounds just lovely Summer, making the best of what you have :) I love the mix of what Ellie does each day, on her bike, in the wagon or walking, we do that too. Reece has been riding his bike or scooter up the road lately, and then we stash it behind some trees while we walk in the woods :) <br /><br />I agree with you on the importance of daily rituals in our lives, I think we as a society need to pay more attention to creating them for our families.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-57675658168715616992015-04-21T01:44:40.517-04:002015-04-21T01:44:40.517-04:00Loving your nature walk ritual.

I walked the neighborhood with E in the carrier, pointing out poppies planted in someone's garden or picking up rocks on the side of the road to share with her. Now we walk for blocks, sometimes Ellie on her bike, sometimes in the wagon, or just strolling along, telling stories and listening for neighborhood birds. I love hearing about the daily rituals... they are so important to our lives. summerhttp://www.summerplayshouse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-32329000076447643022015-04-19T16:37:15.444-04:002015-04-19T16:37:15.444-04:00Thank you, we love them too!

Enjoy this shift in the journey my friend.<br /><br />And yes, so very nice of our neighbours. They have actually told us we can cut a few more trails to give us an access point closer to our home.

He goes too far for me. Mr 14 plays golf everyday, sometimes I walk with him. I still like to go for nature walks and other times I just enjoy being in the garden. Lovely to see some green Kim and so nice of your neighbours. Have fun. xoJulie Maloney Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529876368067739360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-41809121343446905932015-04-17T16:51:35.980-04:002015-04-17T16:51:35.980-04:00Yay for inspiration!!

I can wait to see photos of your hike.<br /><br />I can totally understand with all the morning chores at the barn that getting out in the morning is hard, but all those chores are part of nature connection too, right? We get out two to three times a week for hikes at our local conservation areas, to change things up a bit and spend time with friends. One those days that becomes our morning nature walk.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-84580605968592729022015-04-17T16:49:40.446-04:002015-04-17T16:49:40.446-04:00You are most welcome my friend.

It has moved from that crazy stage to something resembling a surfer now, and he seems to like it. See my post tomorrow for a full look at it.<br /><br />Okay, snowflakes, keep those okay? We are so done with snow! Your walk does sound lovely though. And to see the first cormorants, awesome!!! I love seeing all the birds return, as well as the ones that stopover for a few days and then move further north. Big treat for us too!<br /><br />Happy weekend my friend. xoKim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-6403508426636462642015-04-17T16:46:52.126-04:002015-04-17T16:46:52.126-04:00It is a lovely walk.

We do a weekly hike though to make sure we re-connect. In fact, last Friday we did a really unique and fun hike. I took a ton of pics and was thinking of doing a post with them.

Today fat wet snowflakes were coming down so I put her in the backpack and walked down to the lake. We saw the first cormorants of the season and two sandpiper like water birds that I am still trying to hunt down the name of--can't quite remember where I last put our bird book! It's always a treat for us, when the migratory birds come back.Cocohttp://www.cocoreinhart.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-74291719470309843082015-04-16T21:58:07.524-04:002015-04-16T21:58:07.524-04:00Looks like a nice morning for a walk.
