My sister and I are starting a new tradition. Green Friday. A nature hike. Fresh air. Gathering treasures. For eating. For creating a festive home.We each started out with a bucket or basket. Some gathered. Some played.
This hike is dotted with mossy foundations...all that remain of an old military camp. To Levi, they were castle ruins. He was a knight, Ilex a princess. He secured the strongholds and jousted with his lance/large stick.
I gathered.
The apples were in abundance and so colorful against the autumn backdrop.
Holly did her fair share of gathering, as well.
We ended up back at my sister's home to gather cedar and rose hips...
...While the boys continued to play.
I'm already looking forward to next year...
I love the picture with the boots..so cute!
