First thing we see when we head out our door is the pecan orchard that is across the street from us. They just harvested them all last week. The

Another view of the orchard. They really are HUGE trees.

Eventually we pass by these greenhouses. Sometimes we'll stop in and walk around

This is where we turn off the main road. The orchard meets a diary field and we like to walk along the fence.

This is Luke's big nature "find" of the day...bark. I never realized it, but in all his three years of life he's never really noticed the bark on trees before. He kept peeling it off. Finally I said, "You'd better stop doing that, bud." As I was walking away I heard Lilly say, "Luke! How would you like it if I came and peeled all the skin off of you??" That's a big sister for you, people.

Lilly was very excited that she pulled a tree (ahem...weed) out of the ground, roots and all. She insisted on taking in home and putting it in a pot to keep. I had to stop her from getting the shovel and digging up soil to plant it in.

Finally, the walk ended by playing with our new kittens in the back yard. I realize I haven't even mentioned these adorable little creatures yet but I was a wee bit busy hosting Thanksgiving. We got them a little over a week ago. Love them. This one is Scarfy (Lilly named it) and we have one other one that

Running the race,

It looks like an azalea to me, but you'd have to send a bigger picture.
That is so funny, about the bark peeling! I love your photos.. we see palm trees on our walks. I'll take some pictures tomorrow!
I'm jealous of the snow, too! We're thinking about moving back to the south, at least we would have some rain or something there!
What a beautiful walk you get to take!! Mine consists of sidewalks and electrical poles. :(
Not sure what kind of flower that is, but it must be nice to see flowers still blooming in the "dead of winter" for us midwesterners. And the kittens are adorable!!
