Our gathering started with a delicious lunch.
Afterwards, David, an expert in wheat braiding (who has worked doing it at the Renaissance Fair for 12 years) taught us to braid wheat. He is very talented as you can see by this example! He taught me how to do the compass (4 strand) braid. My girls are a little young for braiding, (they wanted to play more than anything else) but I brought some wheat home so we could try it again.
After braiding, we heard a story from Lana about the harvest and the origin of the scarecrow.
Then Jennifer led us in the making of a scarecrow!
We had so much fun that 4 hours passed very quickly. These are our friends that we are going to start having nature walks with on Fridays. We are so blessed to have these friends.

What fun! I LOVE the scarecrow and the wheat braiding is beautiful. It's so nice to have a waldorf group of ladies in my area too. Nice to meet with like-minded homeschooling mamas. :)

Suzy, I'm a good friend of Raquel SmithCallis, and also friends with Susan Krueger Barber. Raquel gave me your blog address, and I've been keeping up with you ever since! I just love you and your family and all the things you do!
I love the picture of your house--so California! We are coming there (Pasadena) this weekend for Chris' 20th class reunion! The soup looks so good too, I think I'll make it for dinner tomorrow. I saw Raquel the other night and thanked her so much for making it possible for us to get back in touch!
