Keziah’s Birthday

 October 6th

Here are some happy things from Keziah's birthday day:

• The family went out to breakfast (except Gideon who went to school) at the Friendly Toast.  We had a great time and Keziah was given some flowers.  After that she and Zed went off on an adventure day.

• At home I tried to shoot archery in the backyard.  I'm glad I got out to practice, but I lost an arrow.  I searched for over half an hour.  I pulled a lot of grass and other things out of the way in an attempt to clear any obstruction.  No luck.  I really wanted to have more practice before the competition this weekend.  Moving the target closer helped, but I'm hesitant to practice if whenever I do on our property I lose or break an arrow.

Bel found another egg while I was getting ready to do archery.  I think this makes four.

That square object between the two rounds is the target.

First round when I lost an arrow. 🙄

The target is closer.

Autumn olives are weighing down the tree!

Much better when shooting close up.
We don't tend to shoot this close often though. 

• Amy and I met for a walk.  We went to a different part of the Rockingham Rail Trail than we have done.  It was nice, a little narrow in places and less busy. 

Tunnel.

A short tunnel.  We both were more comfortable ducking.

Walking this other section allowed us to see Keziah and give her a flower.  We were met by a friend who gave us the flowers, then Zed and Keziah came by so we could pass the flowers on to Keziah.  So the adventure with Zed involves driving all around the place to see friends and get a flower with someone else delivering the flowers first!  It looked like Keziah was enjoying the adventure.

Waiting to give Keziah flowers.

Flowers delivered!
