On a rainy morning...

{creating}

{toddler hide and seek}

{snack by candlelight}

{duck, duck, goose}

{treasures of the forest floor}

{red light, green light}

Come little leaves...

...said the wind one day...

...come over the meadow...

...with me, and play...

Put on your dresses of red and gold...

...the summer is gone...

... and the days grow cold ....

Spring 2013

The Spring has brought a change in location and energy, with an expansiveness appropriate for the season. The meadow offers much room to run and play, the forest paths a place to explore and make cozy dens, and the tall hill a mountain to climb. The second half of our mornings are spent at the stream, which is full of life and movement (and children!).

We had an amazing time together in the woods this Autumn, and we are looking forward to welcoming Spring back in the forest next year. Happy winter!
