Latest happenings!

 The Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota! We went canoeing a few weekends ago and enjoyed the fall colors and wildlife that we saw... lots of lily pads, bald eagles, and turtles. The north shore up by Lake Superior is beautiful and we will visit there as often as possible!

We hunted for Indian artifacts and spent time with the girls making arrowheads.

 Then on Sunday we went to the Harvest Moon Festival in Ely. There were trappers and ladies weaving their own yarn and stew cooking over the open fire. The girls had brought their own shawls along and their little leather pouches they had made and beaded. They fit right in!

A Song of the Woods

"My leaves are turning crimson," the giant oak tree said, "It's almost time these children should seek their winter's bed, But how they still cling to me and gleam with crimson hue, They truly are more lovely than cirrus clouds of blue. "And now throughout the forest - list! hear their voices ring, But 'tis in tones of sadness and sighing they now sing - 'Alas! 'tis gone, fair summer, and winter's reign is near, He cruelly strips the forest of all her summer cheer By killing all her lovely leaves and likewise flowers gay And driving all her fairy folk to homes of far away.'" Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr.
