learnteachWas relaxing like a git in my bed (after being up for a bit) when there's this knock on the front door and some foriegn conversation. Go check it out, and it's 4 children (just post-toddler to spunky 5 year old) with scissors, and Mom/caretaker.
There's a Jewish Feast this weekend (tonight? Tomorrow?) and they want to collect grass from my yard to make a bouquet for it. I identify the grasses (wild oats, wild wheat (foxtails), rye (fescue)) and show them how to eat nasturtium flowers, and turn them loose with their scissors. Snip snip walk yell! Fun.
With the exception of Nathan, who decided to go and try and cut the motorcycle (no Nathan! That's not a grass!) they were very well behaved. Had a lovely chat about religion.
What fun! What feast was that, though? Shavuot (corresponds with Pentecost) works. Hmm.
