We took a drive, not too far, in search of green.
It had rained, it felt cooler than normal, it was nice. 
There was much talk of wild animals and bugs out there in the trees. 
We spotted two dead beetles. They looked like they’d been mating and just… died? I thought it was weird. The kids stood around watching them laying there unmoving. 
Payson threw a rock at them to see if they were really dead. And they jumped up and ran off! He screamed, startled. He couldn’t believe it! They’d laid there unmoving for so very long! 
We stayed around for a little bit longer before calling it quits and heading back towards our car. Stopping many times along the way to climb on stone walls in the area. 
Green. Rain. You need to move to washington 🙂 Our summer has been simply beautiful, sunshine & 70's with one day of rain every couple weeks. You'd love it!!
