That makes it even more sad that he couldn't see beauty. <BR/><BR/>My mom took me and my sisters out in "nature" (for lack of a better description) quite often and she pointed out everything and it made her look so important in my eyes. So smart to know all that stuff. I miss that.<BR/><BR/>You write beautifully.

They have to be the blackest thumbs out there, planting non-indigenous stuff and hacking away the natural beauty already there.<BR/><BR/>What a great story - I love taking the kids into the woods and doing the same thing. They were pretty wild and impetuous when they were younger, but over time they've gotten better about being still to observe fauna, and learning how to identify the various plants along the way. Its not something they're going to learn without being taken there, so good on ya mama! Let's hope other parents take note and do some of the same.

The girls love it in late June when they bloom and then can grab some bowls and pick their own breakfast. It may grow back if they didn't pull out the roots. If it does, maybe you could transplant it?<BR/><BR/>A friend of theirs also taught them that clovers were safe to eat and now they grab those.<BR/><BR/>I remember growing up there were a few spots with wild blueberries and how sweet they tasted.
