The Sound of Chickadees Sweetens the Blue Air.
Sunshine, blue skies and new snow. Perfect conditions for an adventure out into the local woods and trails of Hartland.
We started camp with sewing projects indoors. The children worked on an arrow quiver with leather straps, two dolls, an embroidered pencil case and a bow drill to start fires. Silas joined Doug outside to nail on siding and soon it was time to hit the trails.
In a few minutes we were on the trails and up our first hill testing out the conditions. Soft but not too sticky with plenty of sun and warm temperatures. We took a long break against a fat rock and had dried fruit,oranges,trail mix and water. The trail continued out west and we had fun with the short hills and open terrain.
Back at home for a late lunch we cooked up sausages, chili, pasta with pesto,grilled cheese sandwiches and apple cider. In the afternoon the bow drill research continued, arrow making, and building projects outside. The younger students baked scones, muffins, a cherry pie, sewed dolls and played gold diggers in the thawing stream. The day ended with a candle-lit tea party for parents at pick up to taste the baked goods and celebrate Silas' xc ski debut.A wonderful day!
