Nice Weather for Little Bare Feet

Today the weather was so beautiful and warm that we had to get outside. We took a trip to the duck pond. This is the first time so far this year Suzi has been outside with bare feet.

We passed the daffodils on the path to the duck pond.

There were NO ducks on the pond! But there were several geese and lots of huge coy (carp) . . . . who had been so well-fed by a school group that they didn't show much interest in our bread. We had not been to the pond in a while and were surprised at the size of the fish. It's hard to believe that these fish were probably once someone's goldfish.
We paused at the pioneer cabin for a minutes to take advantage of the shade on the porch.

Then we walked back up the trail to the swings . . . . where Suzi's daddy proposed to her mama. Suzi and Grandpa enjoyed a few minutes relaxing there and posed for a picture.

We are blessed to be able to see our little Suzi almost every day. The time we spend with her and the memories we make are our most precious treasures.

What a nice post!! I just want to eat those little piggies! I love the weather this time of year. It could stay in the mid 70's to low 80's year round! You look pretty in the picture with Suzi!

Do little goldfish really get that big if put into a pond? That's kind of creepy! Is there something about a pond that enhances the fish's life span by 5 or 6 years? These pictures of Suzi are so cute and I love your new pink stroller! It's nice to have a fold-up for the car. We've used ours already.
