Plotting with nature and literally getting our hands dirty, seemed the perfect course to take, especially now that we (finally) have the means!
A yard = opportunity to connect with nature : hands on!
This year, Ria and Brandon will each have their own plots. We thought this would be a nice add-on for Nature Study. Nothing too big or daunting but just enough to tend. I got this idea from Louisa May Alcott’s, Little Women where each sister had their individual plots.
Today we marked out the plots, weeded and broke up the ground. Next we will add some soil and compost and get it ready for botanical life! They say that gardening is akin to tending the soul! It is also said that good gardeners tend to be kinder. Hmm…having said that, I have to admit, I’ve come across some winner grouches with the most gorgeous gardens! Hopefully the latter will not be true of these two!
I will keep you posted on how these budding gardeners grow!
About Probhita
Quite ordinary, really.
Where I do consider myself extraordinary is in that I have been tremendously blessed with the sweetest family and the best of friends. It is nothing short of the richest luxury to be loved as I am!
Being challenged to think and break away from status quo is a personal priority. I believe that the Creator of the universe has a plan for my life and random chance is not the way of my existence. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I deeply uphold tolerance - I may not concede to a thought being right - but will always respect its view.
The privilege of having the best parents in the world and growing with caring sisters in a rather unique setting is an aspect closely cherished. My youngest sister, despite being oceans away, always remains my closest friend and my biggest encourager!
I have a wonderful husband who loves me and two gorgeous children. I presently live in India. This blog is the embarking of a journey with Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education as I continue to homeschool my children. I hope their childhood will be as fulfilling and memorable, if not, more, than mine.
