Signs of Spring

Charlotte Mason said, "We were all meant to be naturalists, each in his degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things."

Laura and Clay added these daffodils to their nature notebook.


"They learn to know and delight in natural objects as in the familiar faces of friends." -- Charlotte Mason




The peach trees are blooming!








Clay's Tadpoles....can you say hundreds of Frogs??



There were four legs so neat
With lovely webbed feet
Grown right to that fat pollywog.
And the first time he spoke
He cried with a croak, "Mercy me, I've turned into a frog!"

Our Egg Man at work



























The wash is hanging on the line
And the wind's blowing---
Dresses all so clean and fine,
Beckoning
And bowing.
Stockings twisting in a dance,
Pajamas very tripping,
And every little pair of pants
Upside down And skipping.

by Dorthoy Aldis























Young transplants are eagerly awaiting April to spread their roots in the garden.
