*Knowledge of Nature*

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to spend the day with dad! Anyone that knows me, realizes that I absolutely love spending time with him. (plus how could I pass up golf at Mountain Dell Golf Course!)

The day started off great! Me catching my pants and ripping them HOLE #1. Yeah that made for a slight breeze in my britches! The fall colors were spectacular. The company was as always Awesome! And well our golf games..... Let me just speak for Dad and I- "We had a FUN day"! does that explain how well our game went?

Afterwards we had to make a stop before going home. (Yes I still had my breezy pants on at this point!) I had the opportunity to listen and somewhat assist (in setting out the plants!) with his presentation to the Scouts.



He taught about the different types of wildflowers, bushes, shrubs, pines, etc. He did a great job! I have to admit, having a dad as a landscaper you know they know a lot about plants etc. However watching him teach and present them to a group of 20 men, actually impressed me. His passion for plants, the outdoors, nature and our God that made them is amazing. Dad surprises me everyday! He is an amazing man with a heart as big as they come! He was a little nervous and afterwards kept asking "how did i do?" I'll report dad did a fabulous job and had the attention of everyone! (even his daughter with the hole she was hiding from the men!)

I adore my dad and look up to him for so many reasons! He's a fighter and a survivor! I love you dad with all my heart and so much more!

Sister...this blog is fabulous! I am glad you got to spend the day with dad. It's always good times! I remember growing up, I would always volunteer him for things that dealt with his landscaping. If our class in school needed a Christmas tree, "My dad would get it for us". At that point, I was totally oblivious to the fact that he had to pay for them! He is an absolutely wonderful man. I adore him with all my heart. He is a survivor with unmeasurable strengths! I am grateful he is mi Papa and love him bunches...!!! I am very grateful to dad for taking Rhonda in as he has. She has the utmost respect for him and also an amazing amount of love for him.
