Mass Audobon

After visiting Drumlin Farm back in June we decided to become Mass Audobon members. Our Saturday afternoon plans ended up falling through this weekend so I was scrambling for something to do at the last minute. There are a bunch of wildlife sanctuaries that I want to check out, so we decided to go to the Visual Arts Center in Canton.

They had a coloring table set up in the museum so we did that before hitting the trail to the woods.





After coloring bird pictures we headed outside. The trail was really rough so we ended up not venturing too far. The kids needed to be in the stroller to get down to the woods,


But then they were able to explore,


At first they felt more secure behind the stroller with me,


But ultimately the pine needles, sticks and pine cones were far more interesting! Unfortunately the mosquitoes were TERRIBLE so we couldn't stay too terribly long.























I love getting them out of the city and exploring nature - we have many more Audobon spots to check out in the future!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
