Every week, we had a nature day (usually about 3 hours, always including a picnic lunch). We went to one of our local parks or nature preserves, the zoo, or any number of other places. We would write poetry, take photos, or draw pictures of things that captured our attention. Even when my kids were in high school, I still did this. Although people used to tell me they thought my kids were too old for nature study, I responded by saying, "That we were never too old to enjoy God's creation."<br /><br />Sitting quietly and enjoying the beauty of the world around me continues to top my list of favorite things. I continue to enjoy nature days on a regular basis.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925673616741434546.post-47959715653270790632014-06-08T11:35:20.322-07:002014-06-08T11:35:20.322-07:00What beautiful photos!
