~ Autumn NatureWalk ~

We were very excited
to find out "owls" lived at one of our favourite places.




I`m a tall tall tree
with my leaves falling
down
down
down









It feels so right to me
for my children to live this way
and their childhood to be full of magic and life
spending days in nature
being a family
and just being with life itself
I love you both so so much
and I am so happy to share life and each day with you.
Thankyou for teaching me to be happy!!!!!!!
and live each day with all my heart
like you both do so well***


A quick play at a playground
on the way home...................................




Heading for home
as day ends and night is coming.........

Autumn Adventure~ Leaves Gathering ~

This place is trully beautiful
so open ,so fresh and alive with nature
the openness always uplifts my spirit
with the knowing life is like this.............................
and I am always reminded to live my life from my spirit in this way



The simple delight of sitting and watching ducks
doing what they do, and just being with life................
their simplicity, is so enchanting.



I sat back and watched my children
so happy and full of joy & delight
as they watched the ducks and their surroundings.

they seem so free and enchanted with life......................
and having many moments of awe ......................
(watching a duck skimming across the water`s surface etc....)

It feels so right to homeschool them and spend time
in nature and being close to life in this way.
I looked at them and wonder what life
will bring their way and where they will go...............................

it`s time to jump in puddles
and walk in the rain.

~Autumn Season`s Altar~

Beautiful images of people`s creations
I have gathered for inspiration and appreciation.
The internet is a wonderful place of sharing...................




The Season`s Altar

I wait to the time feels right to change the altar
as this needs to be a gentle change because the children become
attached to what we have created.I have found they accept the change
with happiness and new excitment when done in this way................

Colours change and the Autumn Girl and Boy appear
surrounded by treasures collected
and our first fallen leaves we found........................
sweetcorn has just been added for our harvest and gathering
and I become inspired at what to make and add next.................

AutumnTime

The days grow shorter and colder
A feeling of pulling in and keeping warm
and also of running flying free with the wind
a real drawing out to the natural world around
Raindrops falling down and touching us ~
