A Kind of Quiet Time

here we go...

what's in here?

a nice rock

look up!

this is a chipmunk house

bridges to cross

a chipmunk house!

listening to a singing tree.

hiding

making a chipmunk house!

let's head back!

We enjoyed a few moments by ourselves in the woods this afternoon, walking quietly and listening to the leaves crunch underfoot, exploring familiar spaces, and talking about what we saw. We've begun to compile some thoughts about our outdoor spaces, and eventually want to create a "prek guide to the paths" with photos and drawings and words about our favorite spots. We do call different areas by name; there's the chipmunk houses, sawdust place, and rainbow tree, to name a few. These are all spots where we like to spend some time.
