... in the garden this morning, we shared the sheer joy and pleasure of picking flowers. There are literally hundreds of little pansies and violas in my vege patch right now, all colours and hues ... and Jyra, Dakota, Ted and Ari were really, really happy to look at them all and pick posies together. This was so sweet and the gentlest of fun too.
... and when it came time to go to feed the spinach and chard to the chickens ... all of which Ari loaded up at first ...
... we needed somewhere for those flowers to go and Jyra decided to fill her pocket with her posie ... and was soon followed by Dakota who did the same ...
Just before our day finished, we were in the ever so gorgeous and much loved little haven that the Witches Garden is, and Jyra came up and told me she was hot and wanted her hoodie off so she could dance. She then came up and gave me two sticks and asked me to make music ... which I did and ever so freely and beautifully, she took flight in dance. This was immediately contagious and all the children joined with her ... piling more sticks on my leg each time they wanted a different song to dance too.
At one point, Ted and Ari got the sticks and sat together making music while the girls danced on. This was all incredibly spontaneous, very cooperative and extremely beautiful ... such a privilege and a joy to witness ... oh ... and to be asked to make music for!
