|| happy things ||

it doesn't take too much to make me happy

in no particular order:

1.being up close and able to handle wildlife! here's a baby osprey

2. being on the water, especially kayaking

3. ice cream on a HOT day

4. this goofy kid named wangjor

5. my kitties, riley and evelyn

6. rainbows

especially when they're awesome like this one,

circling around the sun

7. puppies with friends

8. leopard frogs ... those slippery little buggers

9. being on the lake

10. my bracelets!

11. seeing breathtaking sunsets as often as possible

is this really too much to ask for?

i didn't think so either.

just ONE more week!

so i have only ONE WEEK left before my summer is over!
i guess time really does fly when you're having a blast
here's a recap of summertime at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary

i love working with kids!

here we are after a spiderweb team activity

sometimes we bust out the madagascar hissing cockroaches!
and if there's time, we'll hike to one of the lakes on our property.

here we are at big devils lake

so there have been a pair of nesting swallows underneath our dock

here's their nest last week

on monday, august 2 i saw the first baby starting to hatch out!!

so cute and little!

later that afternoon, there were 2 more babies :)
