Don’t get me wrong- we love all weather, we are an outdoor school after all. We do rain. We do snow. We do hail. We do crazy wind. And we have grown to appreciate and embrace it all. BUT, admittedly, spring feels totally amazing and the coming first of Dandelions and now Buttercups is totally marvellous!
Buttercups pop up, speckling our fields with yellow candies, just when we need it most. They are utterly cherished and revered here, especially by our children, who are completely captivated by each part of the beautiful plant. Watching them respectfully engage with Buttercups, informing and expanding their play, is a true gift and I find myself sitting back smiling as they run through fields, harvest petals and the small “bead” inside; using hats to collect, they carry their gems, recognizing their simple beauty. Let us reach out to these offerings in our world and take a moment of gratitude.
