This Morning in the Yard

We have a pretty good-sized yard...with a lot of unlevel area.  We spend a lot of time working on it during the warmer months because, with yardwork, you can make a really big impact without spending a lot of money - just by putting in the labor.  So in the almost four years we've been here we've gotten a lot accomplished - clearing overgrown areas, taking down unhealthy and crowded trees, and my favorite - building a huge sandbox.  To clarify: I didn't build - I just pointed and said "there".  We have a lot more changes planned, but this is the first year we've been in the position to really put the yard to use.  Just like we did this morning...

With some big wheel riding attempting...

With some sandbox playing... 

With some flower sniffing...

And my favorite, of course, with some little girl cuddling...

(Please excuse the nose...she's having what we'll call "a time" lately.  Just focus on the eyes.  Oh those eyes.)
