Aww nature... AHHH nature!!!!!!!!

I've always sort of had an uneasy friendship with Mother Nature.  In someways I love nature, after all it's gorgeous but I will never enjoy being barefoot or loving the idea of sitting on grass.  Since moving out to Mesilla it has been an idealic existence.  It's just beautiful and peaceful, but it isn't all cherry pie and ice cream.  My allergies are horrible, yard work on a country home sucks, bugs EVERYWHERE, and so forth.  Still I'm glad we are are here.



The kids on the other hand complain constantly about their horrid fate.  They miss suburbia and being close to everything.  They hate the extra work and they complain the country is boring because all they can do is chase ducks and play basketball.  So this morning I decided to let them take a country stroll in the pecan orchard near our house.  They came back screaming in horror!  The culprits were:

82 degree heat


3 Bees in a tree



And a Morbidly Obese Chihuahua barking at them!

Obviously we all need more experience with this nature thing :p

    Oh my, quite the adventure!! Kids are too funny! Have you thought about giving each kid a pot/corner of a garden to plant things? That might help them warm up to the idea of nature or at least being outside. :-)
