~Is it Tipi or Teepee??~

Whether you spell it TiPi or TeePee, 

the kids loved to help make the miniature

version of this Native American home.

We talked about the Indians and some things

they used as tools for living. We talked about 

the Pilgrims and their big boat. I kept it basic

even though there were LOTS of questions:)

Nathan colors Indian markings on 
an old cotton shirt. 

Sophie's turn..

 Tying on beads and feathers  

 

These feathers are from a rooster that we will

miss dearly.. you now live in memory..

RIP Hercules.. 

Later this week we will attach
the fabric to our teepee...or tipi:?

 I wanted to take a moment to focus on the Fall 
weather, and today was the perfect windy day:)

Brisk and windy the leaves blew and collected

 in a corner of the farm..

We run to catch the leaves that trees

throw in the sky...

and we throw some in the sky ourselves;)

Sophie caught a hen this week 

after many days of trying..

Her name is Orchid and 

I think she likes to be held;)

Finally our Teepee is ready for us 

to dance around!!

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling

The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I:

But when the trees bow down their heads,

the wind is passing by...
