“We’re goin’ on a seed hunt, we’re gonna catch a bunch, it’s such a beautiful day, we’re not scared.”

Farmer Charlotte spent the whole morning with us, as our Trail Leader, pointing out every kind of seed she spotted as we walked through the woods. Here’s the list of seeds Wee Friends explored today: red bud tree seeds, asparagus red seeds, Morning Glories, raspberries, sunflower seeds, two kinds of tall grass seeds, grasshopper seeds, milkweed, Purple Aster, moss, wild leeks and acorns.

We chased/fed the chickens and found a fresh egg. We ate raspberries and comforted the weaning calf. We watched milkweed seeds fly and hid under the root system of an uprooted tree. We cracked and ate seeds from the harvested sunflowers. Beautiful earth. Beautiful day.

Before the farm …….A friend said something akin to “here’s a ticket for the airplane.” Joe Cocker popped into the environment via “The Letter” and our envelope/letter art work became an airplane ticket making project, amongst other things. We practiced cutting and identifying favorite colors. We had a long conversation about Halloween and friends shared their costume plans. Lisa guided a small group of housekeepers and even got her hair cut.

 

“Give me a ticket for an airplane. I ain’t got time to take a fast train. Lonely days are gone, I’m a comin’ home, Jane wrote me a letter.”

Other friends read with Lisa and independently.
