Can't Get Enough...Fairy Houses!

“This seems clear enough: When truly present in nature, we do use all our senses at the same time, which is the optimum state of learning.”  
 
-Richard Louv, The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder
 

Working to repair a fairy house damaged in the heavy rain/winds we've had in the past few weeks

 

Love the improvised tools
 
 
 
 
Conversations overheard during this collaborative build included:
"Which job is mine today? Oh yeah, I'm the lumberjack!"
In response, "Don't forget to do your farming chores too!"

I get the biggest smiles when we're building outside!

Who wouldn't want to come home to that?!
