I remember as a little girl finding mystical places like this and spending hours exploring, touching, being. How delightful that you've found this special little spot so close to home. I can't wait to see what it looks like in the summer... you'll have to update us with pictures when things are abloom.<br /><br />That funky vine-like tree is awesome.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231196028453953524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-73642383120892750592014-04-08T17:27:37.759-04:002014-04-08T17:27:37.759-04:00I'm so glad that Dudette and her friends have ...I'm so glad that Dudette and her friends have this chance, too. I think about some of my most magical childhood memories, and they're often when I was out discovering something -- whether in the small cluster of pine trees behind my house, or a little pocket of "woods" at the edge of my neighborhood. <br /><br />Your statement about not having a parent hovering resonates with me! I've been accustomed to watching the girls so diligently for many years, and I'm realizing that it's time to dole out age-appropriate freedoms.<br /><br />We're all growing up, aren't we?<br />Robin Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902099859770996417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-78717804707705654412014-04-08T13:37:09.328-04:002014-04-08T13:37:09.328-04:00Oh, how this resonated with me, my friend.

This past weekend, the temperatures were in the 70's, so Dudette played outside with her neighbor friends. The three kids ran back and forth from our yard to theirs and were ecstatic about their freedom. At one point, they asked if it was okay to go across the street to the dam that turns a small stream into our lake. Since I knew that one of our neighbors was working on at the dam, I allowed them to head on out for a new adventure, one that didn't include a parent hovering. It was an awesome experience for them, and much like you found, I hadn't remembered how it felt to run the neighborhood as a kid. I'm glad they had the chance.
