Investigating.....
Playing in a hollow sycamore tree................
Watching the lavender grow.............
Watching slugs slink along.................
Sitting on sycamore roots for a rest................
Building fairy homes.................
Here's a closer look..................
And a fairy cafe.................
Twirly spring skirts without tights..................
Daffodils reaching for the sun.................
Waiting for eggs and baby birds...............
And praying mantids to hatch..............
Anxiously waiting for our over-wintered black swallowtails to emerge from their warm chrysalids.........
Oh the wonderful life spring brings!!!!!
I love that hollow tree!! How I wish I can find one near us. I don't really remember my childhood too much but one thing I do remember was sitting on this tree with my friends, dangling my feet or just balancing as it slopes up. Sweet post.:)
ReplyDeleteAh, you have Spring there already. I am patiently waiting here. Enjoy! It looks like you live in a very magical place.
ReplyDeletethis post stirs up such happy childhood memories. trees are such wonderful things! i played for hours in the one in my front yard growing up creating intricate roads and bridges through all the roots.
ReplyDeleteoh so much fun! The cool thing about being a mama is that we get to live through childhood again...can't wait for my little one to grow a bit more...well not too fast though. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a great weekend. That tree hollow is amazing. We had some fairy/gnome fun of our own this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteOh this brought back wonderful memories of my own childhood. I used to knock on tree knots, thinking fairies lived in the trees. Also when my daughter was little, we would make fairy houses and fairy rings. (a safe place for fairies to gather.) I loved that!
ReplyDeleteNoah made a brownie house last summer in our nature circle. It's still there:) He was really into Spiderwick at the time.
Cute photos of the girls in their skirts:)
More of your lovely photos! We like to spy signs of Spring as well, especially the bulb foliage poking up.

ReplyDeleteI just went to a conference that was all about raising your children and yourself up amidst nature, the beauty of nature, and the fact that it has all the answers. This post embodies the spirit of that conference perfectly and it is so nice to know that there are people out there living this. Thank you.
