  3. Hello dear friend

    Could we just pop over and walk that fairy trail with you. My little Livy is all eyes. I love "S' for swan and "T" for that beautiful old tree. I am so happy that your little bundle of joy is happily kicking. I see you are fully immersed in grade one stories and letter learning. It is so rewarding teaching little ones the alphabet for the very first time . I love how they grasp the beautiful Waldorf way.

    We have been shocked into the most freezing cold Weather. We have fires burning through the day. We have had our typical South African Late Spring weather...Braaing and swimming and now we are all huddled inside quite confused by it all.....Global warming?????

    My, My this just will not do..

    Have a wonderful day tomorrow dear far away friend.

    Warm regards

  10. Hi Alyss
    Thanks for stopping by!
    Yes, there are edible mushrooms in our area but we haven't tried any - too worried about misidentifying. I know for certain that the ear fungus that grows here quite commonly is edible!
    Best wishes

  11. Hi dearest Suzanne,
    Thank you for all your lovely words as usual. We are so, so loving our learning and all that we are doing really resonates with Sol - he truly loves it. We've finished the alphabet now and are gearing up towards number qualities next week. He just loves the adventure of the whole journey! Although we can be a bit 'freeflowing' and abandon all for a few days and wonder about in nature but that is why we homelearn and it all blends together beautifully. How I would love to wonder in the woods with you and all our children making discoveries along the way. Today was interesting. Chico our dog pulled a squirrel out of a stone wall! He is a very gentle dog and didn't hurt the squirrel. We left a stack of peanuts in the shell for the shocked little chap who quickly escaped and scampered up a tree! Incredible that you have had such cold weather recently! That sun will be back and how we would love to pop around for swimming and a braai..
    Have a lovely weekend!
