The Rest of October

glorious autumn

climbing the apple tree and finding good windfalls to eat

hiking into the woods

stopping at "old joe" for a snack

 fort building

discovering special places

collecting sticks

 ropes and pulleys 
in the lilac bush and strung up to make tents

creative building with wood

kitchen helpers

i

beautiful local root veggies!

arts and crafts, counting and pattern recognition

Week One of October

fun in the october sun


laughing with friends

working in the barn

 

Mama Lena's bitties are getting bigger

in the fall garden

we finally got around to digging the potatoes

big and little

 

 



we found a frog buried under the soft soil

harvesting the last few beans and broccoli flowers

 

 food prep
shelling fava beans and breaking brussels sprouts off the stalk

 

rainbow lunch

Late September

OH WELCOME DEAR AUTUMN!!


new areas in the room


sensory table 

back in action with fall-ness, bugs, and jewels to scoop and fill

the fort/cave/home corner

building "mister walkie-talkie roly-poly" with tinker toys




being bears in a cave (or is it a zoo?)





a new home for the worms...




and then OUTSIDE 
to enjoy the mild air and sunshine


working in the sandbox

they get really into their constuctions and creations
they've started liking for me to call them in for lunch like a boss announcing "LUNCH BREAK"

friends going for a ride

 

digging mulch

to re-cover the areas under dome and under climbing lilac bush.

  

snack break... 

pick a few apples from the tree

or have a popcorn picnic

up for another hike in the woods
