Friday’s Nature Table

Welcome to Friday’s Nature Table, where we share our nature inspired activities and creations.

Each week, I feature a link from the week before. I think this flower-pounded banner from Buggy and Buddy is a super fun activity for the kids… Teddy especially will love this.

If you would like your link to be next week’s feature, please be sure to link back to The Magic Onions somewhere on your blog.

I’m excited to see what everyone’s been up to.

Blessings and magic,

Donni

Fresh Orange Juice

When we moved out of our small house and into the Sunny House last August, I was sad to leave behind my beautiful garden. The Sunny House had been built from the ground up by my Good Man, and at the time, the garden was a pile of builders rubble and dust. It had the bones of a great garden with a wonderfully big avocado tree and a happy plum tree in the back yard and I knew that with a little work, we could create a magical space for my children to play in.

This is our first Spring at the Sunny House and we have had fun planning and planting our garden. It’s been cool to start with a clean slate where every choice is purposeful. Our goal is to fill it with plants and trees that will nourish us. We have planted blueberry bushes, a mulberry tree, two passion fruit vines, a lemon tree and an orange tree.

It was amazingly exciting for Teddy to pick oranges to make gorgeous fresh orange juice for our Mother’s Day breakfast.

What more could a mom want?

How were you cherished on Mother’s Day?

All in a Day.

A few precious moments from our day…

Beeswax Noah giving thanks for a new day, picking early-morning mulberries, the last of our avocados, having a peaceful moment on the lawn, Ranunculus, a special spot for reading.
