I am considering starting another blog about drawing in nature, with a focus on noticing the nature around you. If that gets going, I'll post about it here. I would love some friendly, encouraging faces at the new place.Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910024987393441087.post-16367773675224442252012-06-22T09:30:57.275-04:002012-06-22T09:30:57.275-04:00Gusto is the most important thing!

I was able to find copies of the Chute and Serraillier(Nancy recommended) versions intended for my 4th grader next year, but the girls seemed to have gotten to them already. So know my girls have asked to start reading actual plays in the fall :-OJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928243120890335339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910024987393441087.post-72575861673882203002012-06-20T18:14:12.823-04:002012-06-20T18:14:12.823-04:00Yes... what a talent!

It totally worked, and the fight scenes were scary.<br /><br />With your interest in Japanese art, I'm betting you've seen the film Throne of Blood. EXCELLENT movie.<br /><br />Happy theater-going to you!Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910024987393441087.post-74665617224576875682012-06-20T09:02:33.013-04:002012-06-20T09:02:33.013-04:00Oh, sounds just lovely. we saw Romeo and Juliet i...Oh, sounds just lovely. we saw Romeo and Juliet in the Botanic Gardens in January (our summer). We're off to see Macbeth this Saturday, but inside this time fortunately.
