Interruptions...worth it in the end!

A couple of weeks ago, our lawn company came to do aeration and fall time re-seeding. We were in the middle of school, but Brett was so fascinated with what the men were doing that he couldn't focus on work. So, outside we went! He sat and watched them for about 30 minutes! During this time we watched quietly, but we also talked about aeration, soil, and planting. All in all it was a good lesson!

While he was occupied with the lawn aeration, I looked over at my flower garden to see what was going on there. I quietly moved closer so as not to disturb anything...Simply enchanting!

when you view it up close, you can actually see the little specs of pollen clinging to him...

Nature Walk

Brett and I went on a Nature Walk a couple of weeks ago when it was briefly dry out for a short period of time. We had been cooped up because of all the rain and it was nice to get out for a bit! Brett is the king of treasure collectors...you can see he feels accomplishment in his spoils for the day!

Getting Started

We have not yet started our Nature study, because it has just been extremely hot and humid here the last few weeks. It's beginning to cool off a bit, so I'm hoping to start having this time once a week in Sept. We may start off every other week while we work on scheduling, but we are looking forward to it! Come back soon...we'll have updates!

Nature Study!

In August, we will be beginning a Nature study. We will be using the Outdoor Hour Challenges by Barb Harmony among other resources. I will try to keep a record of all of our activities and challenges and will post as many pictures as possible.
I hope that you will visit the Outdoor Hour site listed in my link to the side and get involved in your own nature study. Today's kids need to be outside more and in front of the TV less....so get out...and enjoy!
Please come back to the site in August and then visit regularly thereafter to see what we are doing. Post some comments if you wish of your own study if you choose to do one :)
See you soon!
