Going Outside

I am really not a Summer person. I like Autumn the best because I get to be inside and look out at the beauties of nature. But if I have to be outside I’ll do my best to enjoy it.

I absolutely love my rose bushes this spring! They have been amazing!

Even my mini rosebush is doing well. I honestly thought that it wouldn’t make it, but it is thriving! 

Lillian is beginning to understand that roses smell better than they taste. But really, that is one of those things best learned through experience.

 

 

We have done other outdoor activities as well. I’m not much for the heat of summer, but Lillian has so much to learn and it really is fun to take her outside to explore this big ol’ world.  We went with Aunt Alex and Bennett to the park to swing in the swings. It was awfully bright out though, so we didn’t stay too long.

 

She has sat on the lawn and learned how to pull the grass out. She’s not quite sure what to do with it once she pulls it out though. Once she discovered that it tasted bad and freaked out Mom she decided it wasn’t worth eating but it still is worth pulling on.

 

After she got over the strangeness of the grass she liked to sit on my lap and watch the strangeness of other people. We saw a little old lady on a walk, we saw a delivery truck driver who waved to us, a small tractor drove by, and so many other fun things!
