These are some stills from tonight’s walk. I stayed to see the first stars. Another night soon, I want to stay later to see more stars.

Signs of recovery: The return of the tea tray! It’s not that we stopped tea while I recovered from long haul Rona; it’s that we were inconsistent and so informal that it wasn’t often recognizable. I’m so glad to get back to the pattern of arranging snacks on a tray for the Children of Joy.🥰 #childrenofjoy

I took the #childrenofjoy to the state park today. We saw an alligator mama near the path, but we didn’t stick around to see the babies. It was C’s first hike, so we took the 40 Acre Lake loop and then played at the playgrounds and the field around Hale Lake. The kids found a couple of great climbing trees today! #autisticjoy

Today I hiked a little more than 5.5 miles in a little less than three hours (the last half hour was mostly spent puttering along and pausing in awe of the beautiful sunset). These are the selfies in order of the hike. Beginning at half a mile in with one of my favorite trees, then stopping for tea (from the flask my dear friend sent me!) and a Larabar halfway along, then with the sunset on the last leg of the hike. What a beautiful day. #hiking #texas

Some of the fun stuff we’re doing in Christian Ed at St. Paul! We had our Epiphany Holy Heritage Day last week and started Wednesday night hands-on saints lives lessons. Last week and this week, we’re learning about St. Brigid, whose feast day is upcoming. Last slide is from my class today, where we had a follow up lesson on dragon slaying with the example of St. Anthony. #christianed #handsonsundayschool #accessiblechurchschool

Today’s hike with Baz was a huge success! He wanted to do two things: walk in the haunted forest, and play on the playground. Baz, sometimes an eloper, didn’t run off, and he followed all 21 Rules of the Forest (the first of which is Stay Together). He was determined to hike a full trail, and he did. He also wanted to look for animal prints. Unfortunately, trail bicycles erased all of the deer tracks that are usually on the trail we took, but we found a huge raccoon print, a spot where a buck had marked a tree with musk and antler rubbings, several squirrel and armadillo holes, and finally one deer track in some mud along the wider trail out. It was a lovely, peaceful afternoon filled with butterflies (painted ladies, monarchs, and cloudless sulphurs) and good company. I’m going to make a Rules of the Forest brochure before our next trip, because I lost track of which rule was which. 😊#childrenofjoy #inthewilderness

Yesterday’s hike with JJ was so fun. His main goals were to walk on all the fishing piers, look at plants that look like birds, and run around the field. We walked the longer path around the big lake so we could go on all the piers. At the second one, we saw a large alligator and heard from some people who started the trail in a different spot that there was an even larger ~12’ alligator at a specific spot near the opposite side of the lake. We found it at the end of the walk, and I was relieved that it was resting about 100’ away on the other side of a narrow lake. It was such a joy to watch JJ run all around the field and trees. (He had fire-making on his list, but the wind was too strong. We have a backup plan for another visit.) #childrenofjoy #inthewilderness
