Today was set aside for a nature walk with our Classical Conversations class.
The only close venue available? The cemetery. It turned out to be a really good spot. We saw several different types of trees, including huge pines, magnolias and wonderful magnolia seed pods with bright red seeds- which were a revelation to the kids. There were yellow ginko trees, sparkling golden in the sun, a revelation to me.
I love the bark on this pine.
The best part? Not the humming birds, mourning doves, mocking birds or even the hawk.
Not the morning glories growing on a wall, beautiful, full and blue.
The best part
was warning my class of 5 boys to quiet down or risk waking the zombies.
