Outside

We've been spending a lot of time...shall I say almost-all-day...outside lately as our house is on the market and I just don't have it in me to clean all day.  So I keep it clean by keeping us out.  And out, though a bit of a pain in regards to some things, is oh-so-lovely here in September:

 



-catching minnows--

--off on an adventure--

--scaling the heights--

--playing below giants--

--the boy's club in the apple tree--

So Charlotte Mason recommends a good 4-6 hours of outside time a day.  We usually do fairly well at this but these days we're really exceeding recommendation!  And though formal school is suffering a bit....there are lessons being learned here in what my Uncle Alec calls "the great church".
