Catherine Love~ Ramblings from my Heart and Home

Glorious Weather

I love, love, love those first cool days of Autumn, and this is the second gloriously cool morning we have had!

I had to remind myself of Charlotte Mason's habit of declaring a "holiday" on those really lovely weather days, because this is, after all our first "official" week of school.....but, how could I resist 3 pairs of blue eyes begging to go outside and play this morning? 

So, out we went, Mom with a cup of tea and her notebook (still finishing up those curriculum and lesson plans- which will change time and time again as the year goes by); and  girls with quilts and other things to create their little home with. 

Nature study showed itself quickly- a tiny walking stick that hopped onto one little lady's leg.  Then, the hunt was on for other creatures- damsel flies, butterflies, and other things were enjoying the Autumn morning as well.

The other books can wait until afternoon, after all- Living is a wonderful way to learn!

Off to have more tea and read my own books on the porch...

OH.....we planted the Fall garden at the new house yesterday!  So exciting, I'll tell you about it later...my tea kettle is calling!

LOVE those fall moments

Catherine,
I'm right there with you. We've been enjoying these cool mornings too. My fall garden seeds are still sitting in their packets. Can't wait to hear what you planted.
