At the preschool back-to-school night two weeks ago the teacher told us about an article she had recently read about NDD, Nature Deficit Disorder. The author of the article was hypothesizing that children develop ADD because they aren’t exposed to nature often enough.
I’m skeptical to say the least, but like any good neurotic mom I can’t just brush off that kind of statement without wondering if I’m doing everything I can to protect my kids from the “what if?” So today we got lots and lots of nature, first in our back yard, and then at the park. Tonight I can rest easy, we’ve staved off the nefarious NDD for now.
Happy weekend everyone. Enjoy my Weekly Winners!
We have some gorgeous flowers growing in out back yard.
Pretty, no?

But I think this one might be the queen of the beauties.

M picked all the ripe peaches from our overladen tree this morning.
They are tiny, but tasty. I’m thinking pie, unless you have another suggestion.

My two girls are always think as thieves.
I never know what they’re saying to each other. Probably planning a coup.

No one ever lets daddy rest. Poor daddy.

She thought it was hilarious.

And then at the park she flew way, way up high.

Spider’s web? Or playground equipment.

Little L was just bored with the whole thing.
She’s just like her mommy that one.

We met some haughty geese.

And C and her daddy had a little moment.
Probably made up for the lack of respite earlier in the day.

Oh, Rose! These are lovely! That last pic is amazing! You all sure know how to have fun!
My suggestion for the peaches is that you send a slice (or six) of that pie to ME! 🙂
Lovely photos!
Beautiful flowers! And fresh peaches, yum!
I love that last shot of C and her Daddy.
Oooh yum peaches! You could also make jam
I absolutely LOVE that last shot.
They are all great, but I just LOVE that last one…
So many really great shots! I love the sweetness of the last one and the bold pink of the flowers. Mmm, peaches – I like mine sliced up over cottage cheese with a sprinkle of cinnamon, but that’s only because pie doesn’t fit as well into my diet, so if you make some, please have a couple slices for me. 😉
Nice shots. My favorite is the last one.
You got some awesome shots. I love the one of L looking bored
Oh those peaches look prime for some cobbler! My favorite…
LOVE that last shot!
You definitely will have no issues with NDD! : )
Great series this week! The flowers are gorgeous~& I love the family oriented ones w/Daddy & the kids~precious! My hubby says he can relate 😉
I ♥ the peaches too~especially since I’m a “Georgia Girl” 😉 How about Peach Cobbler, Peach Ice Cream, or just plain 😉 Pie sounds scrumptious too though 😉
We do all we can as well to fight NDD. It really looks like you had a good time.
Those are beautiful flowers and beautiful girls!!
I would make a peach cobbler, nothing yummier than a good cobbler!! 🙂
That last shot is wonderful! Definitely worth framing! ;o)
Rose- I love the flowers but they are all gorgeous.Love the last one too.
My WW is up My Little Drummer Boys
I love that last picture….
