the enchanted forest :)

Hey, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter, reporting to you today about some the wonderful things I saw on my 5 mile hike through the enchanted forest ...












...Like trees that were kissing and woodpeckers that were totally made of wood..

..and bark that grew words on them and trees that grew sideways before growing upright.  And skeletony bone root fingers growing on the surface of the ground like giant hands preparing to reach our and grab you.

In fact, there were so many cool things to see in the enchanted forest, I can hardly understand why some people might think the most enchanting thing to see was this, just outside the enchanted forest...

Hee hee, I did not stay in it for long by the way.  There were too many things to sniff. Like, um, this. 

Anyhoo, my hike the enchanted forest was very nice and I hope u would consider taking one too very soony soon!  This is Baxter your roving rover reporter wishing you a supertastic Saturday! :)

kids in the lake

...this lake i wanted to show u was full only a month ago when i was here last. and the shoreline came all the way up to here.  i wonder why they had to drain it...

some fishie or dukkie must have pooped one heck of a floatie...

hee hee, let's see if we can find it!! :) :)

barky with a chance of sunshine

The threat of rain didn't stop Henry Gumption or tiny chumley of accomplishing their goals at the 5k race Henry Gumption ran yesterday.  But only one of them was carried back to the car by his dad after the race, hoarse and 

pooped from the morning's events :)
