I am always a bit amused when asked if we have taken off school for summer vacation. Taking off school would be like taking a break from life! Like the title of the blog THE LIVING SCHOOL, we do indeed live our school in every way on every day. Today Big D was bubbling over with knowledge to share. She sounded like a little walking encyclopedia. I almost likened it to emerging from a dream world during her 8th summer. She shared with us great information on the way copper heads are startled and bite, taking spore prints from mushrooms, identifying and using wild foods, and many random facts about sea life.

Isn't this the coolest picture? Vogue-ing with pals after the tour of the El Anatsui Retrospective at the NCMA.
Hmm, what is going on under these mushrooms?!
