Nature Time

Violet has had a sluggish start to her 8th grade year, missing a couple of days a week with illness and upset tummies. She just doesn't like school, sadly.

But she does like going to Quigley Canyon, and when weather allows, we're going frequently. She loves being in nature, looking for interesting flora, fauna and geology.

She found this lovely big bit of quartz.

 

It is a peaceful place, unlike junior high school.

Can't make them out, but this hollow in the oak tree was full of bees.

On one of the days she was home early from school, we met up with Stace and had coffee and lunch at Havana Savannah, one of my local favorites near his work.
