I smell spring

It has been so warm here and the spring-like weather is supposed to continue through the week. This is making me crave some nature studies. We have done some nature stuff this winter, but it's just not quite as much fun.

I came across these photos when I was doing some picture organizing last night. I took these last fall from Cole's bedroom window as he sat on the deck and sketched the autumn all around him. They inspired me to get out this week and enjoy our surroundings. Even if it rains.

Anyone else planning on some outside school this week?
