growing and playing
burning curiosity
revealing secrets
One of the things I love doing most with my grandchildren is sowing seeds and sharing in their wonder as they see the seedlings appear. The top right picture is of some double sided sellotape laid on paper for sticking collage material on. Click any photo to see it larger.

Yep, I finally wrote the list down and, although I never really pay attention to more than two weeks ahead at a time, it has made a huge difference for me and has me looking at my world with the words in mind. Only took me three years!

Ha! Ha! Funnily enough at the moment, I seem to be finishing off quite a few things I started about 3 years ago – must be something in the air! 😉

As usual you combine the ‘Photo Challenge’ and ‘Haiku Challenge’ so well. The haiku is lovely. 🙂

Thank you Vashti. I always choose the photo first and fit the haiku to it – sometimes they seem impossible to bring together, but somehow it turns out in the end. I always appreciate your supportive comments. ❤

Will ye plant the acorns? Would be interesting! As would be experimenting with dying. My children were intrigued by acorns on our visit to the States last November. No acorn-bearing trees here so it was new for them and they brought some home. I missed out on ‘traffic’ last week but intend to make it up. Hope you had a nice week. Rain, rain, rain here!

I have an oak tree at the end of my garden and there are always loads of little oak trees growing in the lawn, so I won’t be planting any. Your children might be able to grow some in pots, they seem to germinate really easily.

I climbed many mighty oaks side by side the chipmunks and squirrels as a child and played with many acorns too! Nature at it’s best– our playground and toys as children. 😀

Great fun, though pine was a favourite too. It seems now that I went years with blackened hands from dirt sticking to the pitch I managed to get stuck all over them!

Acorns give a pale yellow and if you add iron its a black.
