Down the deer trail at the edge of our (gigantic) yard, somewhere along the property line of our side and back neighbors, someone has created a magic space. And they even labeled it: 100 Aker Wood. While I am not an advocate of trespassing, this being Texas and all, who can resist that? Little Miss and Loverboy found it on one of the snow days and she's been intrigued ever since. I don't know if they've been back, but I went for a few minutes with her last weekend and she's bugged me enough at the end of every day this week that I finally caved today. I am a reluctant trespasser...but it is cool.
The safety googles were her idea, in case there were any "pokey branches" at her eye level.
That is quite an oak tree cluster, with limbs running along the ground.
Emily, of course, loooves it too.

We only found the one feather, so we decided a blue jay dropped it while preening in the tree. There would be more, surely, if it had become dinner for any of the many feral cats that live in the culverts on our back street...wouldn't there?
Lots of vine-y-ness action on the trees.
And moss is actually growing on the northern side.
We found some pretty purple flowers.
Any idea what these are?
Back at the house, Little Miss was anxious to show me our first daffodil of spring. We have daffodils!
And, just because it's so cute I thought I'd share, look at my girl rockin' the '80s side pony for school this morning:
