This afternoon, Claire and I had the great fortune to take a walk to the lake. The weather is gorgeous today…sunny and in the upper 60s. We live just up the street from a really nice lake, and lately, I haven’t had a chance to take her for any leisurely nature walks.
But, because I’m a quitter, I have all the time in the world! Ha. Just kidding. I’m not a quitter. I’m a re-arranger-of-priorities…and there’s a big difference. 
It’s amazing how many things you can see just on the way to the lake. Did you know that if you walk slowly enough, you can watch the ants and other little bugs, running for dear life? All those rocks that appear to be the same by the neighbor’s sidewalk are all different? There are also all kinds of interesting things to be found down by the lake.
Claire kept exchanging one magnificent stick for another, each one a little better for digging around in the dirt than the other.
Speaking of interesting things we discovered on our nature walk today, here is one of my favorite conversations of the day:
Claire, pointing to something on the ground: “What’s that?”
Momma: “That’s a feather.”
C: “What’s that?”
Me: “That’s a feather.”
C: “What’s that?”
Me: “That’s another feather.”
C: “What’s that?”
Me: “Oh, that’s a piece of goose poop.”
C: “Goose poop is not a feather.”
I guess you had to be there.
