Why? Because I am seeing some of the fruit of a Charlotte Mason education. Stopping, observing, sketching - in a word: keeping. Natty will always remember these days of catching, identifying, and sketching her butterflies. And I will always remember the thrill of watching her and thanking the Lord for leading us to the CM philosophy of education." << I just love this and I totally agree with you about the importance of these special, independent pursuits. <br /><br />I always have trouble drawing butterflies because of the symmetry--but hers are just lovely.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027434801996805885.post-62852022580683222822015-08-20T03:57:14.963-07:002015-08-20T03:57:14.963-07:00Thanks, Kristyn.
