maggie and milly and molly and may
~E.E. Cummings
maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were
and molly was chased be a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles; and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
I haven't had time for much blogging this summer, but I did manage to get together our August nature table after a recent trip to the beach. August is usually a month of beach trips for us, and probably the busiest month of the summer. We're trying to enjoy the summer one day at a time, although thoughts and plans for the upcoming school year are bubbling up to the surface of my mind each day.
I hope you are all enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation before commencing another fabulous and creative school year!

| Our sea themed nature table. |
 |
| I made little sailboats with shells and twigs. The twigs are stuck on with modelling wax and I sewed on the little sails. |
 |
| The squid, turtle, and jellyfish are happily drifting along in the current. |
 |
| And on the sea floor rests a little mermaid among her treasures. |
