Take'n 'em Squirrel Hunting

Entering the woods
 Squirrel has to be my son's favorite critter to hunt.  I'm so thankful his daddy takes this time to bond, and teach my son about about hunting and loving the outdoors.  Unfortunately, my daughters don't feel the same as my son does about hunting squirrel, or we'd go hunting along side them, more often.

My son with his 1st Squirrel of the Season
Sweet little five year old...
A couple weeks back, before the season ended, we all made our way into the woods to hunt squirrel.  I stood back a ways and watched as my husband and son were out maneuvered by a grey squirrel.  As they passed a tree going in one direction, the squirrel circled around the tree in another.  I snickered to myself, knowing that yelling out, "There's one, right there!" would not be wise.
Not so happy eleven year old
We made our way to a tree, and my husband and son went some distance ahead.  My daughters and I were merely spectators, and this attempt at squirrel hunting was a trial run for my youngest daughter.  My husband and I kinda figured the five year old would have a difficult time sitting still... but it wasn't the five year ... it was my eleven year old who didn't want to sit still on the wet ground.  You have to laugh... The camo netting my husband had given us to cover ourselves was being used by my eleven year old to pad her behind.  We took it in stride, and sat quietly.

Although another squirrel was not to be seen at any other time that evening... we did get to see a beautiful owl perch itself on a log.  It was also a great time for my family to spend quality time together, and once again, get outdoors to enjoy nature... and whatever it had to offer...

Saw a Beautiful Full Moon as we were leaving...
Since squirrel season has come to an end, the weather is warming up, I'm planning on posting more and more of our outdoor adventures!  There will be many, I'm sure.  Fishing is one of our favorite things to do in the summer months, well... ha ha... along with hiking, camping, site seeing, swimming, canoeing, scouting, backpacking, visiting historical sites, visiting family and friends... etc.

Lord willing, I'll hear about some of your favorite outdoor memories... or what activities you enjoy participating in!  Yes... I'll take watching my kids play ball... you are in fact, outdoors!

God bless

Totally Transformed

So... these days I take a lot of selfies... mainly because I cannot believe the woman in the mirror is actually me.  It’s taken a very very long time to work my way through a multitude of insecurities.  I’m here... or there now.  I love the reflection I see in the mirror these days.  It’s been difficult swallowing my sorrows and pains each time I’d pass a looking glass.  I’m here now... with a new found confidence.  I will finally finish my Education degree and become the teacher I never thought I would become!  I’m so thankful for this opportunity as it offers a freedom that many will never understand.  As for now... I’m enjoying the new me and all the wonderful friends I have accumulated over the past two years because of my transformation.  I’m also thankful for learning what I will and will not accept in my life... or my children’s.  Be blessed ❤️ Love SAM

Back to my Roots

Being outdoors is as natural to me as breathing.  I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the opportunity to venture out from time to time.  I'm thankful my family enjoys fishing and hunting as much as I do, and I'm hoping to do more of it this year than I ever have.  Over the past few months, we've been doing a LOT of fishing.  Since my homeschooling days, I don't get to get on my blog as often, and the topics I cover have somewhat changed.  I'm hoping, however, to get back to my roots and start incorporating my outdoor life with healthy living and eating habits.  First and foremost, I'm thankful for my husband and children.  They are the very air I breath and a blessing from God above. A couple weeks back my, on a rainy day in Georgia, my husband, my children and I drove up to a beautiful serene river in settled in the lower banks of the Northeast Georgia Mountains.  We each had our fishing poles in hand and made a half-mile trek throu...
