Treasures

Treasures....some are found, some are acquired and some simply are because they live and breathe! Some things are treasured memories.... Like the memory of a first groundhog killed and vanquished!

Like popsicles shared with a cousin on a hot summer day!

Like a mushroom found that is nearly as big as the seeker's head.

Muddy feet and legs after exploring in the creek.

Some treasures nestle into your arms and fall asleep due to sheer exhaustion!

Sometimes treasures can be found snuggling with their Aunt.

Sometimes they seem to grow up too fast and you catch a momentary glimpse of the future in the way a boy sits. The prelude to a man.....

Eating watermelon at the cabin.

Determination on the face of this one as she works at defeating the balloon.

Annoyance on the face of another as his will has to learn to submit to the eating of the watermelon in order to get ice cream.

Second cousins sitting in circles chatting away about who knows what!

Memories, my children, family....some of my greatest memories!!!
