After the wildflower walk we were invited back to Jojo's to have lunch and play in the pool. The kids ate these funky looking Octodogs with mac & cheese.

Then the real fun began!




All in all, a perfectly wonderful day. Thanks Jojo!

The girls and I were invited to join one of my co-workers at the Connemara Conservancy to go on a guided walk and learn about the spring wildflowers on the meadow. What a wonderful oppurtunity to practice with my new Canon Rebel DSLR camera I got for Mother's Day! (Thanks babe!)

According to our guide most people come away from one of the walks only remembering one flower name. I was able to retain Milkweed, Kisses, Queen Ann's Lace and Firewheel so I guess I'm not doing too bad!

Who says you can't get there from here?

I say you've got to start somewhere so why not here? I've been allowing my brain to churn over the idea of starting a blog for a while now. The problem is I'm a master procrastinator and have been putting off this first post until I had what I wanted to say "just right". Reality is I will never get THERE unless I start HERE!
