After too many days avoiding the frigid temperatures and ice-laden driveway, the boys and I ventured out for some serious fresh air yesterday. They wanted to "dig for dinosaur bones" so we grabbed a few shovels and made our way into the woods. We didn't find any bones (maybe next time) but we did make a few discoveries along the way. Peeled-back birch tree bark revealing a pinkish skin underneath; "soft like carpet" tree moss and lichen; animal tracks (something "fast, and dangerous like a coyote or a fox"....or our neighbor's dog); and some eye-catchingly bright orange fungus growing on a stack of logs.

I too am trying to find a balance between the classical TWTM approach and the gentle art of learning (CMason). We are in our first year homeschooling and it has been a year of trying to figure out our direction as a school. Come visit anytime.
