“I LOVE Nature!”
She enjoys watching nature shows, especially if there are animals involved.
Maybe that’s why her grandparent’s golden aspen grove sucked us in while we were looking for leaves to craft with and let us go around 3 hours later.
We pretended we were a primitive family, making a shelter from bent trees and an old blanket.
I made her a crown of leaves and a tiny wreath woven from a twig and grasses. She sewed me a ring with a pine need
le and special leaf with a heart hole 💛.
We took turns raking the leaves into a small nest, which she rested in as a baby bird while I fed her “worms” (bits of sourdough pumpkin bread).
Then we tossed armfuls of the nest up into the air and at each other, until we were laughing and covered in gold.
She helped me remember the joy of play, the art of pretending, the blissful immersion and appreciation of nature.
