At Windsong, our outdoor realm is full of invitation..! We go outside each day, and we have many activities to carry us through the seasons: sowing and harvesting, teepee building, woodcutting and yard raking, gardening, trimming, composting... We love our rain pants...! Our large, covered sand box invites excavation or delicious cake making, our monkey bars invite challenges, our grapevine house makes a lovely home, our long balance beam carries us all the way to the garden, our ship takes us on wonderful explorations to far-off lands, and we garden--planting our seedlings, then harvesting for Soup Day.
Mopsy, the curious long-eared rabbit, keeps us company - and loves to eat our apple peels. Our good chickens have been raised up from chicks, and we hope soon to gather those eggs(?!)

"We are working, working hard,
Sawing firewood in the yard.
Hold the saw, hold it tight.
Back and forth, yes that is right..
Sawing, sawing, saw, saw, saw..
Merrily the pieces fall...!"
