Back Down The Drive

This morning's 7:05 sunrise was tinted lavender...like a hint of Spring.
Plus, warmer temperatures are predicted for a few days.....
which means more comfortable walks for me and our grandchildren.

.

All 9 of our grandchildren live within walking distance;

some just take a little hike and cross a creek to get here.....

while others can come down this easier path to our home.
.

Yes, that's a cemetery adjacent to our driveway.....

that they have to pass by.....on their way here.

It's an early 1800's cemetery.

Sometimes they don't even make it here.....

.....but end up in the field chasing butterflies like Amanda!
.

This is granddaughter Katie and great niece Alicia

helping granddaughter Alivia, their cousin, down the drive.
.

They gather here in the summer and sometimes play a game of corn hole .

That's Nick, Katie, Nathan, and Tori (not a grandchild...but Katie's cousin).
.

Katie and Nick
.

Most are all teenagers now,

except for Andrew and Dylan...

but when younger they all

had fun in this small pool.....

and often ended up on the back porch

......eating s'mores.....like Dylan here with

Jacob (another cousin, but not a grandchild).....

and sometimes they could be convinced that reviewing

some school work, with Grant's help.....could be fun!

I enjoy all of them coming to gramma's for

warm summer time fun, being all together .....
.

or for cold winter time snowball fights.....
.

or like Katie and Tori.....

to play monopoly... with Alivia looking on.....
.



They can come and camp out in my living room anytime,
.



or just for quick little visits...like Dustin.....

before they go.....back down the drive.

Deer.....not grandchidren.....
