Hello! And Happy Friday! Our week was quiet, productive, and fun! Here are a few pictures of the first week of June in our world. First up, I continued my early morning walks. If it seems like my pictures are all taken in the same area, that is because they are! I am a creature of habit, and walk the same route every day. I come across different friends every day; some have become regulars.
I also stop and take a short walk out onto the dock every day to say good morning to my mom. My mom grew up spending her summers on a lake, and I did too. We had a place on a lake for several years when I was younger. The sound the dock makes when you walk on it always reminds me of summers at the lake with my momma.
I switched up my lunches this week. I replaced the salad with a sweet potato, cottage cheese, a hard-boiled egg, and some fresh fruit.
Flynn and I are finishing up sophomore year! I cannot believe that. I have homeschooled her all these years, beginning with Preschool.
It has been and continues to be an absolute honor to spend my days homeschooling my kids. We have so much fun!
Also this week, my girls made pies! Madison made her favorite, blackberry pie...
And it was delicious!!!
And Peyton made strawberry pie...
We couldn't try it, but based on past experience, it was amazing. I will finish with some pictures of the pups.
This one is quiet and unsure, but so very loving. While Mocha is a bit more, shall we say, vocal?? But cute as can be!
And Flynn's Marty?
He is smart, loyal, and fun.
Last one! I sent this selfie to Madison to show her I was wearing... and loving... the hoodie she got me. She and I watched Little Bear every single day when she was young. And we both love him. Peyton, Rhett, and Flynn, too. Madison found this sweatshirt for me, and I am so happy because every time I wear it, I remember those cozy days at home with my little ones, watching Little Bear and his friends in the forest.
Have a nice weekend, my friends. It is going to be hot here! Flynn works tomorrow, so we will pick her up after and go to Mass. After Mass, we plan to get dinner, take it to the condo, and then sit on the beach. I am also going to sip on some iced coffee and visit with you! And that is it! Thanks for visiting!

Love the pictures of the daily walk and how even though it is the same place the view changes from day to day depending on weather and wildlife. I, too, am a creature of habit and kind of "like" my habits. I am the same way with foods---get my favorites and that's what I want...lol...and don't give me any raw fish. lol
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were able to homeschool your kids and that it was a good experience. Not everyone can do that--nor do they want to even try. You did a good job, Mom.
Our 'bear' when the kids were little was Paddington Bear and Sears had a whole line of the clothing and it was 'expensive' then compared to what the other stuff sold for...but that was my choice for my littlest guy.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Billie Jo. xo Diana
Love all of the photos from your walks.
ReplyDeleteThe pies look amazing and that sweatshirt is perfect.
Have a lovely weekend!!
Your morning walks are just so beautiful! And I love that you say hi to your mom.
ReplyDeleteThe homeschool pic with little Flynn is adorable. What a blessing to have done that all these years.
I am so impressed with all of the animals you saw. Your photos are beautiful. I love the sun on the lake. Your lunch looks yummy. That is wonderful about the home schooling. Yum on the pies. The pups are so adorable. Love the sweatshirt. Cute story behind it.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of a younger Flynn and you!! It is totally precious. And your walk is stunning! The golden sunrise and all the creatures. The last bird looks to be a Little Green Heron! They are very secretive and hard to find!
ReplyDeleteEach picture is amazing! And I especially love the one of you and little Flynn. I wouldn't trade all of those days for anything.
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos! And I absolutely adore Little Bear!
ReplyDeleteYour daily walk photos are beautiful. The route of the walk can be the same but every walk is different!! :) Oh my that strawberry pie looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteOmg we still watch little bear!!!! Its so cozy ♡
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy to see the nature photos on your daily walks. The deer are especially a treat for me, and I've been seeing a lot of them with the start of June! Your lunch looks really good with the sweet potatoes. And those pies! I like your Little Bear sweatshirt, and this is a cute picture of you, and such sweet memories you have watching this show with the kids growing up. I haven't seen this one, and it was always the Berenstein Bears for us.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely June weekend, Billie Jo. Oh, I have to mention the dock pictures, they are beautiful!
Your morning walk looks amazing!! I love the photos you shared! The pies look and sound delicious! I know you will have a great weekend at the beach!! Enjoy!! xo
ReplyDeleteOH.... I love the Little Bear shirt. OH my!!! I love Little Bear. My kids loved that show.
ReplyDeleteLook at all that glorious creation and wildlife. The deer! What a perfect image you captured!!!! Have a great weekend.
You have so many animals around your home. How fun to see them every day and be able to walk on the dock. You are in a beautiful place to live.
ReplyDeleteYour sweatshirt is so cute although I have to admit that I've never even heard of Little Bear.
Your fur babies are just the sweetest. Each with their own personality, just as it should be. Lots of love in those three little bodies.
Enjoy your beautiful weekend.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Friend, you live in such a beautiful area to enjoy so much of the nature that God has created for us to enjoy. I'm so glad that you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteLoved all of the pictures...and both pies look amazing!
Love the picture of you and little Flynn.
Have a wonderful and cozy weekend, Billie Jo. xx
It's hot here too. We had to turn the AC on last night. But we made it all the way through May without it so I was pretty pleased.
ReplyDeleteYour morning walk photos are just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just beautiful! Your dogs are adorable. It must be nice to do homeschooling, congratulations
ReplyDeleteMy efforts with pie crust are sad. I don't try it much anymore. The pies you pictured look great.
ReplyDeleteCOULD YOUR PUPS LOOK ANY CUTER?????!!!! I don't think so!
Everything looks so nice - peaceful walks in nature, sweet memories, yummy food, such an adorable picture-and of course the pups! Exactly as it should be - what a lovely post.
