It’s early spring on the hillsides, and we try to get out each day with Mirabelle to see the little green growing things and the first of the flying bugs. We’ve been working on our winter tree identification as well, and are using the last leafless weeks to sharpen up our skills.

Today, a fly answered our call for a flying bug, and there were plenty of little green growing things. We found a ‘bouncy log’ for Mirabelle, and had some good times bouncing up and down.

After the bouncing, she found a stick that looked quite yummy.


She had a couple of pees in the woods, soaked up some sun and wind, and walked barefoot on a big log. All in all, a pretty adventurous day!
