In the midst of wedding preparation all around, I went out for a short solo run. I did the same loop my sister and I did a couple days ago. 2.25 miles. This time the weather was nicer. It was warm, but the clouds were hiding the sun and there was a cool breeze. In addition, the cottonwood trees are in the process of shedding their cotton, and it is blowing every where. Nothing like coughing on cotton while running!
Since I have a little more time to post these days, I will be posting our adventures in this journey to help my sister have the most beautiful wedding. Plus, I plan to use a lot of these in the gift I will be making for her and her future husband! Scrapbook fun!
Mom wanted a pic of Steph and I running. So when I got back from my run, we had to pretend to run. This is us running down our road....
And then when we were done pretending, she wanted us to go to a specific location near our home. To pretend to run. Her thinking is that after the wedding, she won't have the "opportunity" to take pics of us running... okay mom! This location is near our home... a huge 100+ year old tree in the middle of the road. We always thought it was pretty cool that they built a road around a tree!
And then, I caught mom in the action... of pulling weeds. Her and Steph spent most of the afternoon pulling weeds. There were only two pairs of gloves...otherwise I would have helped...no doubt!
I snapped a beautiful photo of the bride-to-be .... happy to be finished with her duty of pulling weeds...
And then there was Dad. Mowing. For...ev....er!!! I think it took 2 plus hours! Atleast he had his handy dandy headphones that block out noise... and he must have been jamming to some good tunes... for sure! (He is my partner in crime when it comes to the Tar Heels...can you tell?)
Stay tuned for more photos.... if you're interested!

That IS pretty cool! The tree in the road. I've never seen that before. Wonder what made it so special? LOL

Great pics!
Love your "pretend" running pics. It looks like a beautiful area!
At least there is somebody in this world with enough sense to leave the tree alone :-) Nice pics! Happy times for the family!!
Great pics!! It looks like a very beautiful area. I've never seen a road that goes around a tree before. That is very cool. Hey...someone needs to get behind that camera and take some more pics of you.
I love the picture with the tree in the middle of the road.
I must get myself some of those handy dandy headphones.
pretty pictures
Great pics! That tree is so neat looking, right in the road!
Beautiful locale - and you were very convincing in your "pretend" running. What a blessing to be able to spend quality time with your sis before her big day.
I'm sure it will be gorgeous!

You live in SUCH a beautiful area!
