{into nature} is a weekly Monday post inspiring the exploration of nature. It is a grassroots effort to combat the nature deficit disorder in our current generations. Please join me in this movement back into nature by sharing your own nature inspiration, whether shared through photographs, words, poetry…. leave a link here in the day's comments for all to enjoy.
“For children, nature comes in many forms. A newborn calf; a pet that lives and dies; a worn path through the woods; a fort nested in stinging nettles; a damp, mysterious edge of a vacant lot- whatever shape nature takes, it offers each child an older, larger world… nature does not steal time; it amplifies it.” -Richard Louv

we've still been celebrating the evening with strolls through nature a few times a week. this picture is one of our regular stomping grounds along the state forest road. this moment is one of my favorites every time we go for our evening walk on that road- it's where the thick woods open up to the sky. in the evening the lighting is magical there.
my new favorite coming of evening activity has been exploring nature in our own yard. checking on all of our growing plants, making sure everyone has drinks for the night. talking about what fruit we may wake up to in the morning. saying goodnight to the bees.
what is your favorite evening activity now that the summer has arrived?
ps- i'm thinking a giveaway is in order towards the end of the week- i'm cleaning out the shop, making way for life as i now know it. new adventures.

I enjoy the evening chats with my sweetie outside after the kids are in bed while he waters the plants and mushroom logs. Hope all the upcoming changes are good and exciting ones!
Evening walks are my favourite, there is just something special about that time of day.
Enjoy your day.

I have been enjoying the evenings on the porch with the hubby or friends, possibly a glass of wine and great conversation....and tons of citronella to keep the mosquitoes away.
We usually take a walk, or play in the yard. Little One goes to bed around 7pm, so we spend hours outside in the morning.
