I took this picture standing on my driveway.

I love my trees. They are absolutely beautiful. It a mini-forest. In the spring and summer the foliage is so thick it obscures all views of neighbors. It feels very treehousish.

I love my creek. It is absolutely beautiful. It is a mini-river. There is always a bit of water that saunters and meanders around the side of the house and through the backyard. It feels very moatish.

I love my boys. They also love the trees and the creek. They fleece the trees of their leaves creating mini-boats for the mini-river. They experience the creek. Not from the driveway basking in its beauty, but a bit closer. Close enough to fall in. Close enough to fall in daily. It feels very adventurish.

I love my trees, creek and boys. I think I will go do laundry now because I took this picture standing on my driveway…

  1. That is an absolute kid paradise. Man, that’s the coolest place ever to live. Frogs, snakes, toads, turtles, fish, bugs, sticks, rocks…man–Awesome.

  2. I hear you, with nature comes filth and with filth comes laundry. But it wouldn’t be sweet adventure if it didn’t involve grass stains.

  3. Oh…. How lovely… You’re living in my fantasy world of I imagined my home would be like once I got married and became a mom! I pictured said home in New England, not Texas, but it sure looks great.

    Enjoy!

  4. I love our creek, but I can’t let the kids just go play in ours right now, the snakes are coming out in ours. 🙁

  5. Like A Mom Two Boys, I didn’t imagine your driveway like that, either.

    I love the creek. I want a creek. Even if it meant more laundry (not sure I would notice an increase, since it’s so monumental now).

    It looks like so much fun. My kids would love it.
