It’s January, yes. It’s winter, yes.
But it’s mild, and it feels like so much spring, and we all needed to spend some time outside. We worked hard this morning, gathering branches and transporting them (in the truck, the boys love that part!) to the other end of the yard. I even managed to resist the urge to weed the floor of the little forest (the creeping blackberries, they take over!).
After lunch, we burned.
And the boys painted rocks. It keeps them out of the fire, you know.
Luckily we have an almost endless supply of them, because they can both paint a lot.
Some of Timothy’s works of art:
And some of Ben’s:
The rocks will be strewn about the little forest, making paths or hiding in bushes. Maybe I will have to weed after all.
We even got a little garden prep done. Timothy helped me weed and turn over last year’s garlic bed in preparation for planting out the strawberry runners.
