The first day of February was a good day to build stick towers in the woods. We started with a square of sticks and just kept building squares of sticks on top. The tower looks fantastic in the woods. We pretended we were building a pyramid! No treasure and no mummies but a staircase to the sun. We shall build more and see just how high we reach.
It was also a good day for throwing stones in puddles.
And we saw five beautiful deer race across the field in front of us. The blackthorn trees have tiny blossom buds. It won't be all that long before they are awash with white blossom! Later in the day we even felt the sun so warm on our faces it tingled!
A good first day of February!

sticks and stones, puddles and fun, sounds grand!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your stick tower!! So very neat. I will have to try that someday.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun walk, I love your stick towers. Throwing rocks in puddles reminds me of a morning walk last winter. We were going to the playground but just up the road we found a big muddy puddle with lots of rocks around it. We didn't make it to the playground but then again nature is of course the best playground of all:)Thanks for your kind word on my spinning, im having lots of fun with it
ReplyDeleteSticks, puddles, and deer...what a fun day you had! The stick tower is amazing...I'll have to try that with my girls. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think we've made any nature art this year (winter), while out in the wilds. Somehow, I only think of it when at home! :) Too busy loving and running and discovering when we're there, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love the tower idea, of course!
What a lovely walk - full of the promise of Spring. Children and puddles are just made for each other. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had some woods!!! Such good fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds great. It's good to be a kid.
ReplyDeleteJust FUN!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me excited to go to the warm beach and PLAY! I love the capture of the splash.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Like Andy Goldsworthy, but at a level I might be able to do! Neat :)
ReplyDeleteoooh great idea with the stick towers.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is it with boys and puddles, mud and stones? My boys are completely content throwing stones and squelching in mud ALL day. The girls aren't so eager though :P
