Nature Table

This is our nature table. It is something we started several months ago, but it stuck around so I though it worthy of a post on our blog o' memories.

How it started...

Benjamin began bringing little bits and pieces of 'nature' in from walks or trips to the car. His pockets would be full of acorns, or sticks, or rocks and I would find them all over the house. Then we decided to have a spot (near the door) where he can bring whatever piece of nature inside and leave it there to admire, hold, study, taste, crunch, & experience. I l.o.v.e it. I totally get him... that earthy feel of something organic and made by the Creator... that woodsy smell...
My only rules are that no living creature can come in to stay and no more 'landscaped' flowers... I think the landscapers are beginning to suspect our Ben of vandalism.
