We had some fun this week looking for signs of Spring. We're having somewhat Spring like weather, but some days are of course a little remiscent of Winter with rain and wind. But nonetheless we've got many signs of Spring happening around us.
A vase of budding branches...
Pondering the possiblities...
Our completed work!
Now that Spring has sprung, we're hoping to meander a little quicker through these Outdoor Nature Hours. Please visit the delightful Handbook of Nature Study blog for more Outdoor Hour goodness!
Happy Friday sweet visitors, here's wishing you a weekend filled with lots of good family life and love!! Many blessings!




Beautiful!
You know, I totally missed out on the spring coming thing. When we moved we sort of went from winter straight to summer.

LOL Theresa! Boy, do we both have the burn to put truth to your words! That's what a good beach day will do for ya... :)
Meredith, do you know I've never seen the Handbook of Nature Study in person? That is one hefty tome!

So much talent and I love the presentation at the end. I've been taping Cate's art work up on the wall. It is so simple and yet still looks good.

I really enjoyed reading your entry for this challenge. The paintings are wonderful and pretty soon you will have more subjects than you can handle. Spring is coming! Promise!
Thanks for sharing your entry this week.

Hi Meredith,
The dry brushings are beautiful. You will have to stop by my blog and take a look at my kid's dry brushing they did a couple of weeks ago.
