We were back at Acorn Farm today for a birthday. Had a lovely, sunny picnic in a sheltered spot under a tree which Jeremy gazed up at from my arms :) I glanced at the tree and noticed it was oozing with sap. Well, I know it was sap now anyway; it looked like melted glass if that makes any sense! It was amber in colour and appeared to be coming out any exit points it could find, such as the knots in the trunk. I've never noticed it before. From a very brief bit of research it seems that it only happens at certain times of year and contains nutrients, but I know nothing about it - where it comes from, why there's so much the trees literally overflow with the stuff..
Isaiah had loads of fun yelling at the pigs, "PIG!! ..PIG!! ..GO IN YOUR HOUSE, PIGGYYY!!!!"
When Josh got home Jeremy was looking with him intently at the pink flowers in the back garden (I can't remember what kind they are; I always get them mixed up with rhododendrons but I know that's not what they are)!
Hello and welcome! Come join me on a journey of discovery with my kids as we explore the big wide world together! Take a break from electro speed; here we live in s-l-o-w time - experiencing, meandering, ambling, observing, noticing, appreciating..
