Forest and Farm Girl

Olivia's class at MLC has been learning about the forest and all of its creatures this trimester. They have been heading up to Forest Park regularly--they even take a city bus there! She is enjoying the different ways her teacher has approached the topic from forest yoga to art, writing and spirit animals. I love that she is getting out into nature and exploring on her own. Also that on forest hike days she has to wear jeans. Jeans! They look adorable! 

These days she likes to say she's a farm girl. She has shown a remarkable dedication to the chickens, checking on them and caring for them. For her elective at school her first choice was gardening--and she loves it! 

So great!
