Daddy Daftie left so early this morning, that neither of us heard him leave. On one hand, it’s nice to say goodbye. On the other, well, I don’t like being woken up before I have to!
We had plans to meet friends for a walk around the Botanics again today. Wee Daftie’s pal wanted to show her something there so had our brekkie, wrapped up for a chilly walk, and headed out.
We had a couple of tasks from nursery emailed through this morning which we could easily do while in the gardens. One was to see and count how many different kinds of birds we could see and another was to try and find snowdrops!
Funnily enough, my girl and I had been talking about snowdrops recently so it was extra fun when we actually found some. And we found lots, and lots, in fact.
We had a lovely hour and some with our friends, the kids rambling and looking for rabbit holes, us Mammies chatting and setting the world to rights. I have harped on about it before, but I love these Mammy Mates of mine. I am just to thankful to have these ladies, and their kids, in our lives.
After, we said goodbye, Wee Daftie wanted to go see the ducks in Inverleith Park again. I love her interest in animals and just how fascinated she is in the nature around us. I try to teach and nurture as much as I can, without going too far and taking the fun out of it. So far so good though. And long may it last.
We arrived home in time for lunch, and chocolate chip cookie baking, having reached our step target! It’s nice to surpass our goals in such an easy way. Sure, we did walk for a good length of time but it didn’t feel like a chore by any stretch. We had an afternoon of reading, chocolate chip cookie eating and movie watching. Tomorrow will be another busy day so we took the afternoon easy. Still have about a week to go and want to finish as strong as we started!
