Nature Study # 1

Brr! It's cold here in Texas(well at least for us Texans!). 62 F at 9:30 AM. Like I said, it's cold for us Texans. Green Hour # 1 was somewhat of a success. Laine played with the dogs, we discusses preening from the book, Flying Creatures of the First Day. Our goal was to hopefully see a bird preening - No such luck! But, we did draw a Female Cardinal. We had a moment of, "Mine's not very good, I want to help you and draw in your book." But, I stood firm and told him how "I was did my best work".
Then after a little while Laine decided to try again. And what a beautiful Cardinal he drew. I even let him borrow my special pen! Luckily, our cute little Gracie decided to draw too and thought that sharing the supplies was a nice thing to do.

  1. What a great cardinal drawing! Your son must be very proud of persevering and creating a great memory. Keep your eyes out for a bird preening and I bet you will see one soon.

    Great start to your nature study.
