Enjoying nature can be a family affair


Children learn from their parents. Usually. What's better than to go for a walk a nature. It's beckoning us to come and smell the fresh air, listen to the water running, and watch the birds.

This is just what we did this past weekend. It was nice. The trees were blooming, the butterflies were out, the migrant birds were coming back. We saw some Purple Martins.

We went to the Little Water Falls at the Piedmont Wildlife Refuge. Didn't we go there just a weekend earlier? Oh yes, it's never the same, and there are a handful of places in nature we go to regularly. And when Kelly and Leah are there, it just doubles the fun.

The water is still running, making a nice waterfall. It's cool just to sit by it and listen to the water. This is a pretty place. I'm sure you have pretty places like this near you too. Make the time to go if you can. Take the kids with you, if you have kids. It's best to start early. That way they want to keep going later.

We all had a good time and we can't wait till next time.
