Sunflower Seed Picnic

The weather lately has been absolutely lovely. 
After a summer of days where the humidity made it sometimes hard to breathe it is very much welcomed. Layla and I found the perfect picnic blanket a few months ago on 50% off day at the thrift store and she has been worth every penny of the $1.50 we spent on her. We have had her at the beach, in the state park, and under our favorite shady tree. I used to think a picnic required food but sometimes all a picnic requires is a nice blanket and good company. 
Today we enjoyed laying in the sun eating sunflower seeds talking about what kind of bird we would be and where we would fly to if we had that amazing ability. We picked out our favorite clouds in the sky, picked flowers, and checked the carrots we had left out for the bunnies in the field to see if they had been eaten (they had.) I love that our life together now is filled with adventures and laughter. Even an afternoon alone in our own backyard is exciting when spent together. I'm lucky to have the best picnic partner around.



"If I were a bird I'd fly all the way to that tree mountain and build a nest on the highest tree and poop an egg in it" Ohhh Layla my sweet girl... 

This last pic is probably my favorite she is clearly envisioning being a bird flying high above that highest tree.
