Today was an amazing day of homeschooling with Brooke and Lauren. I wish all of our days were like this. On a whim we stopped at a park and walked along the dry creek bed. We talked about the patterns in the dead eucalyptus logs and learned that it was caused by beetles. I snapped a few leaves off to let them smell what fresh eucalyptus smells like. We talked about the way the bark peels and I looked up rainbow eucalyptus to show them just how amazing and beautiful it could look. We took photos of interesting things and then came home and sat on the back patio to work in nature journals. We had snacks and I read to them about history while they worked. It's only February but it feels like early Spring on a day like today.
