~ 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...............................
