Spring is in the air!

Which makes it a little hard to breath.

The world is full of seeds and tiny flowers and things making a mess all over the place right now. 

We headed outside to draw things in our nature journals. The grass was wet so we sat on the trampoline.



We used clear contact paper to save some of the things we drew. We have done this since we first started our nature books and the first leaves we put in over a year ago still look nice. 

I'm not very good at nature stuff, being a very indoorsy person, so we don't really identify things so much as simply observe and enjoy them. 

We drew with wild and crazy colors instead of accurate colors.

Imogen's book.

We have a tree that drops tons of these seeds each year. They spin wildly as they fall to the ground and my kids have always called them helicopters.
