Children should be encouraged to watch, patiently and quietly, until they learn something of the habits and history of bee, ant, wasp, spider, hairy caterpillar, dragon-fly, and whatever of larger growth comes in their way. Charlotte Mason
What beautiful weather the Lord has given us! Our family has taken full advantage of this. Yesterday Hope spent ten hours outside. She could be found collecting pinecones, sticks, and rocks, watching little creatures she found crawling around, or stretched out by the dog observing the sky above her. She proudly took me to the planter box to show me her little "worm farm". She didn't need any fancy toys, a planned activity, or staged entertainment. She found all she needed in our Father's world to entertain and teach her in ways "the world" never can.

a worm farm is the cutest thing. isnt it nice when you watch your children play outside all day in their own backyard and they are content and happy with just dirt! These are blessed times in our lives that make me want to hang on to them forever!
I love it - a worm farm! That is very cute. :0)
Hooray for dirt! Hooray for the outdoors!
