chelidona mostly-pictoral list of today's gratitudes:
Happy Kid
Wacky friends
Roller coasters
Ferris wheels
Gorgeous wood stoves with stags on them (not mine, unfortunately)
Perfect farm days
Just-made ice cream
Good times with good friends
Things that go boom in the paddock
A fully restored moose
Wildflowers in the yard
Medicinal herbs blooming in the garden
A sword surprise-gifted by a friend
A warm hearth
High temps in the 60s (even if it is going up to 85 Sun-Tue)
Finished projects
Cool science museum summer programs for my son -- letter sent home to parents:
"Our primary goals in this camp program are to help your children:
o Develop a greater comfort with the outdoors
o Develop skills for learning and exploring outdoors
o Build ecological understandings:
This year our Week A focuses on Nature's Neighborhoods. The week starts off with us learning to explore our camp area with all of our senses. An uncovered map leads us to a treasure box. Inside are instructions from the King and Queen of the Gnomes. Each day they send us out on a new adventure to explore the animals, plants, and habitats unique to this area.
Week B centers around Opposites and Diversity. Opposite Man comes by to enlist our help in investigating why there is so much diversity in Nature. Each day's theme focuses on opposites -- big and small, fast and slow, hot & cold, etc.
o encourage discovery and use of the senses outdoors
o build a respect for and gentleness with other life
Homemade margaritas and guacamole
A quiet weekend at home with family and housemates
The blessing of all of you
