Spring?

While the temperature in Cleveland is gradually rising and signs of spring are sprouting - that is not yet the case in Latvia. The children at Zvannieki are still enjoying winter. An important aspect of life at Zvannieki is fresh air and exercise. At every opportunity children are outdoors – simply to play or have extended walks. The pictures show the woods around Zvannieki. One trail is 4km long – even the smaller children walk that.
The children’s imagination is also engaged – while walking they look for the nymphs and gnomes of the woods. Sometimes a glimpse is caught of them as they go about their work. Other times a house is built for them. The walks and fresh air improve the children’s appetite and aids them in getting a good nights sleep, not to forget the benefit of working off energy that otherwise would make for a very loud house…
Fresh air and exercise – sounds like a good idea. Maybe I’ll get some.
P.S. Thank you Linda for your pictures!
