OUT IN THE BACK YARD

Thursday night I was out back preparing to mow the yard and I took Mackenzie out there with me. She loves being outside, especially after being indoors for so many months. Mackenzie made a beeline for the fence where some bright yellow dandelions were growing. She sat down and picked them then proceeded to wander all over the yard with them, never setting them down. At one point she was picking up rocks and trying to do that without putting down her flowers. She even brought them inside with her but then quickly released them when I spilled out a few cheerios for her to snack on. I know most kids at this age pack small things around in hands, as I did as well. Most of my childhood I did that and I have heard a story of my brother quoting me, "I'm going to see what I can." I see myself in her in so many ways!
