Waldorf Co-op

This week we moved co-op to Thursday instead of Friday. Old Man Winter is threatening to visit us on Friday, and with Thursday being another 60-65F day.....

I didn't have my camera, so please hop on over to Erin's beautiful blog, Four Little Pixies, to see the goings-on of the day.

Peace,
Carrie

a warm, sunny day in january

Last week, after two previous weeks for bitter cold temperatures (for NC!) we had three days of sunshiny Sun and upper 60s, even to 70 degrees!

So what do you do on a 70 degree January day?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can dig in the dirt.

Bask in the Sun.

Sit on the ground and play without fear of getting a cold bottom.

~ Laurel ~

Create a game in the driveway. I drew gray stepping stones, castle, cauldron and several magical objects. The girls had to hop on the stones to collect items for their magic potion, then turn the frog into a prince. They were going to take the prince back to the castle, but decided he was too heavy. :)

On a warm day like this one, there is also plenty of time to be silly.

Chalk outlines are so much fun. You can even make yourself a skateboard.

The backyard is good for (L-R) working on that hole, putting on "owl ears" to hear a hawk calling and mixing up a little herbaceous stew.

Touching the Earth, reconnecting with the space were we all live.

~ bare fingers and toes - a special Winter treat ~

Hope you are enjoying this new year, no matter the weather.

WiP Wednesday - tiny, tiny dog sweater

This tiny little thing is going to my brother-in-law and his girlfriend's miniature chihuahua mix puppy named Savannah. My girls had so much fun playing with her on our holiday trip to Virginia. Here's a link to my Ravelry project page and this is the pattern. I'm knitting it on size 2 dpns to further reduce the size.


But even as life goes on normally for us, like so many others, my mind has never strayed from the souls in Haiti. We have been keeping a candle burning, to remind us of their suffering and desperation, to remind us to send energy to them, to remind us to hold our babies close.

It's a strange juxtaposition - something so frivolous next to something so important. That is how life can be sometimes, I suppose. I have struggled with how to respond to this tragedy in Haiti. Our home and hearts remain open.

Peace,

Carrie
