nature walk...

Love LOVE love God's glorious creation.

Love walking in it,

and sharing it with people I love...

and so excited to participate even MORE in caring FOR it

preserving it.. protecting it..

There is JUST so much to learn :)

Little man needs his daily hike when we are at Blessings Farm.. 

Mama sure could use some walking..

not to mention Buddy's NEED to burn energy

and Princess' need for space, air, and peace

all that added up

 SURE does not hurt to see this as a super time to get in some

 Nature Class in !

I always try to remember to bring my camera.. 

because SOMETIMES

We come across something that we aren't certain about

that we .. don't have a name for..

wondering.. What this is..

if YOU know.. please share :)

sometimes color and texture are simply beautiful

and must be captured..

like Little Man's mossy rock 

Sometimes...

it is my fellow hikers that I want to capture..

they GROW so quickly..

and "THIS is the Day the Lord hath made let us rejoice and be glad in it" comes to mind..

the very fact.. that today.. 

will NEVER come again..

taking a photo.. is like keeping a moment o of that precious time

here is another beautiful deep dark brown red "something" ...

and I see it everywhere..

but don't KNOW for certain WHAT it is..

Things to learn this week!

isn't this a lovely berry.. 

wondering WHAT berry it is..

is it poisonous

or

not so much..

inquiring minds WANT to know !

Do you do nature hikes?

Nature Journals?

here are a couple of the books WE just LOVE

and try to include in our home "schooling"

every week,

if not .. every day

The big kids are reading through this,

and researching through this book

as part of their weekly lessons..

I do this topically with our 1st Grader Buddy! 

HAVE you bought this book yet?

more importantly..have you READ this book yet?

utterly brilliant

I LOVE IT!

and THIS is one.. on my MUST buy list!

perhaps a Christmas Gift..hmm just thinking :)

We have oodles of wonderful DK and Golden field guides

as well as Audubon field guides to learn our birds
