It's only TWO weeks away!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__f-LY9qvYhQ/SXi11n_y-fI/AAAAAAAAAI0/R4aU8BFcaM0/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__f-LY9qvYhQ/SXi11n_y-fI/AAAAAAAAAI0/R4aU8BFcaM0/s400/004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294181294848276978" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We also have a shepherds crook near our dining room window that has a platform feeder and a larger feeder similar to the one on the left in the picture hanging from it. <br /><br />Sorry about the garbage can!

Too many real-life challenges were happening last fall and our time at home was so sporadic that I had to say 'no'.<br /><br />One of the hardest parts of homeschooling today is having to choose between great and great. (So unlike voting in a presidential election!) There are so many awesome Charlotte Mason resources out there now it pained me to have to say 'no' to something I knew would be great. But life circumstances have a way of changing and we now have enough consistent time at home to participate. Hooray!<br /><br />This blog is going to be for posting our nature journals and any other comments the dc or I have from our time outdoors.<br /><br />I can't wait to get started!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/74603017156677282-5268468682740586126?l=wingfieldschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elizabethnoreply@blogger.com0
