One fascinating thing about life here on Big Owl Road is the little mountain stream that travels from the mountain to the front of the cabin, underneath it and continues on down. The kids spent most of the morning running the boats from the pond all the way down to a dam of sorts – where two logs have been strategically placed to stop them from traveling all the way downstream. As Dave, Don and I enjoyed our conversation and coffee on the back patio the kids ran back and forth, using their sticks to prod the boats along when they got stuck. I think they could have done this all day long, but alas, the hiking trails called. They’re in bed now, and I’m sure thinking up new ways to get their boats down the run faster than they did this morning – oh, the power and beauty of kids and nature.
