In my Nature Notebook...

With all the rain we've got some funky fungus going on in our front yard. Caleb found these growing at the base of a maple tree. They are called "Dead Man's Fingers" Isn't that great? They feel leathery and come away easily in one's hand (spookier and spookier) The latin name is Xylaria polymorpha (Ascomycota)

A Charlotte Mason education leads to all kinds of ideas! Join me in keeping one or several of the notebooks she prescribed and discover the Science of Relations and the Art of Mindfulness.

A wee explanation: this website was created as a way to amplify the daily surprise of seeing glory in one small life.
