I was lucky to spend a week at my parents' house. They have a great garden with many fruit trees, including an apricot tree. And in the garden, you can also chase the little insects that keep jumping in and out of the high grass. The children love it. Mine did.
At the end of a few days waiting for the apricots to mature, we decided it was time to pick them. So, we ate them and also made a tart. Yes, a yummy, mumsfillibaba tart.
This is what our afternoons were about : chasing grasshoppers & watching the apricots!
...and then, of course, baking and enjoying the fruits of the garden.
The perfect place to run around and find insects
Chasing grasshoppers
Observing the grasshopper before freeing it. Not many escaped the observatory phase, as the chidden were pretty good at catching them. Let me reassure you, they all got released back in the nature.

After the baking session, the apricot tart is ready to be deliciously appreciated!
Hoping you enjoyed your July.

ReplyDeleteYes, Diane, the children have a great time in that particular garden and they discover lots...no need for toys, really.
