Mother Nature has been acting stranglely around here. It is still threatening to snow, let alone just being very cold and rainy out. This time of year, we should be starting to experience the drier heat. So, honestly I haven't been entirely inspired to go out much. But somehow, I always catch some sort of glimpse of the natural world.
The younger 2 boys love this patch of flowers along our neighborhood walk.We made up a song for them as they run around the flowers, laughing. It is to the tune "Ring Around the Rosey".
Ring around the flowers,
Circling for hours,
Laughter, Laughter,
We all have so much fun.
Then, one day, it began to rain, so we changed it a bit.
Ring around the flowers,
Under the rain showers,
Laughter, Laughter,
We all get nice and wet.
This is just a common birdy in our region, that which I photographed from my dining room.
This is the boys' prized moss garden after just having been routinely watered.
Perhaps we will get out more this week, especially if the weather clears up some. I would like to get going on our belated garden...we are still figuring that out.
I love the little song. It has been snowing where I live. It seems Mother Nature can not make up her mind whether she is ready for spring or not. (LOL)
ReplyDeletecan I use that little song for my little playgroup...its lovely x
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use that/those song(s). We make up little songs often and I think these ones sound more lovely than the original version. Plus, they seem to be more pertinent to what a child can relate to.
