Last week was hot and humid at Kitchawan! Even the horses were hiding in the shed, so we stopped to say a quick hello and then headed to the creek. We spotted beautiful bright green dragonflies and huge daddy long legs. We learned about poke berry, from which we can make a natural deep purple dye, and we enjoyed the nice smell from spice bush leaves along the trail. The kids started to do more of pretending, using a stick as an umbrella, a firework, a flower, and a magic wand, among other things!
