The Week in Blessings: Sabbath~Hike


After corporate worship and food,
we went for a family hike at a local wooded trail area.

I'm trying out my newly thrifted fishing hiking vest,
and I think it is going to work out very well.
(Now to get all those hiking-mama supplies organized in it!)



The Man loves to "knock rocks" as he walks,
he is practicing his flint-knapping skills--
aka blood-drawing skills.
(There's a reason I tote all those supplies in that roomy vest!)


Sights of interest beside the trail.


Some points of interest grow right on the trail.



A happy afternoon spent in the sunshine, fresh air and spicy-scented woods.
Still loving that upper 50's January weather!

Celebrating in creation
the blessings of rest and rejuvenation
intended by the Creator.

That evening we went to a chili cook-off.
The Man's entry was my personal all-time-favorite--no joke.
We all had fun visiting with friends old and new.

A special day of blessing, indeed.
