Cherry

It's been a busy day. I had a parent evening at school & decided I would "sneak" some pictures of Noah & Nathan's work. Nathan's cherry tree is currently decorating the hallway in a frame. He is very proud of this tree - painted using watercolors on dry paper. Then on to the woodworking room. One of my favorite places. I love woodworking. Noah has been working on this pentatonic lyre all year in woodworking class. In the beginning there was a solid piece of cherry wood... Pegs & strings still needed. I can't wait to hear the sound! The tree cut-out he actually made into a Christmas ornament back in December.
Unlike their watery Mama, my boys are both solid earth children. - A bit of it is reflected in their work. I'm just so proud of them. And after this long day I came home to two children practicing soprano & alto recorders, playing beautiful music. Yay for me!
