Bluebells

We were a week or two early for the peek of the bluebells, but it was a pretty walk through the woods anyway.

We are so excited for Preston & Jana and their family to join us in England soon!

City of Dreaming Spires

"And that city with her dreaming spires, she needs not June for beauty's heightening." Matthew Arnold

This is one of the most famous and iconic views of Oxford City.  I took the kids in search of it on a wet and windy day.  As I reached the crest of the hill and saw the city sprawled out below me, I had one of those pinch me moments.  Is this place for real?  How blessed and lucky I am to live on its doorstep.
