  • Nature Walks and Poems...

    We've had fun going on Winter nature walks lately.  Texas Winter is not too cold at all, and the girls have loved seeing the changes in the seasons.  Hope you enjoy their poems that the nature walks inspired:

    Winter Sights

    by Caroline (1/29/08)DSC00193

     

    All the trees are bare

    There is not a sound in the air

    Just the waves of the trees

    And the whistling of the breeze

     

    Everything is so crisp and dry

    I frown when we’re passing by

    Everything used to be so lush

    And nobody was in a rush

     

    They listened to all the beautiful sounds

    Until they ran in leaps and bounds

     

    Soon Spring will come again

    And new life will start to begin

    But right now, people are all bundled up

    And sipping hot cocoa from their cup

     

     

    The Nature Walk in Winter

    by Ava (1/29/08)DSC00186

     

    It’s fun when you feel the breeze

    And the sun so bright

    I wish, I wish the summer came back

     

    It’s pretty outside

    But, I still wish it is summer

    I love it outside

    But, it’s too cold

     

    Well, no birds that we hear

    But the sun with it’s reflection in the pond

    I love it outside so much

    I bring things in the car

    to make sure I have what I need to draw

     

    The weeping willows only have branches

    So I wish it was summer

    and they would have leaves all over them

    What a great blog entry. I love the poetry and appreciate the photos of your outdoor time.

    Did your girls make their hats? I love the pattern!

    Thanks for the sweet compliment, Barb!  :)  We did not make those hats... I think we got them at Old Navy.  The girls did make some hats from the Hearts & Trees' kits recently and had a blast doing it!  :)  So, now that they know how... we should never buy any again, right?!  lol!
