As some of you may have noticed, it's been quiet over here for more than a week. The silence was due to our recent vacation out to Reno, Nevada to join in the celebration of Naiya's Great Grammie Billie's 90th birthday. We drove there and back stopping half way in both directions to spend some time in the lovely town of Ashland, Oregon. I thought I'd share the sights and stories of our furlough a bit at a time beginning with our favorite new-found hobby... Just before we left on our six day adventure, I had been perusing some of my favorite blogs and came across the idea of Letterboxing from Beth over at Acorn Pies. What a gift this was! After reading Beth's post I immediately googled "Letterboxing" and found the very informative and helpful Letterboxing North America site. For those who, like me, have never heard of this fun create, seek and search game, it's a kind of a local/international treasure hunt. It began in the mid 1800's in Devon, England when a guide left a bottle of wine hidden on a trail for future visitors. This morphed into future hikers leaving letters in various boxes throughout the moors for the next travelers to collect and mail. Eventually the basic idea traversed the ocean and today in North America there are several sites dedicated to Letterboxing. In its modern form, small, weather-proof boxes (or plastic containers) are hidden in mostly wild public places. These "boxes" contain a small rubber stamp (often hand-carved) and a notebook. After acquiring clues via web-site or word of mouth, finders make an imprint of the box stamp into their own notebook and leave an impression of their personal stamp along with their name, date and perhaps a short note in the letterboxes visitor book. (This is similar to geocaching which I had also not heard of until last week.) The great thing about discovering Letterboxing the day before we left on vacation was that we were suddenly given a whole new array of possible adventures in each town and city we visited as well as prospective exploits along the way. Even as I was walking through a park in Reno explaining my excitement and enthusiasm to my mother-in-law about the fun this could be for our little girl, Ryan pulled out his smart phone and found that there was a Letterbox in the very park we were right then enjoying! Sadly, we weren't able to locate that box (we think it had been pilfered) but two days later in Ashland (after we had procured notebook and stamp of our own) we found our very first box! It was a rainy day in Lithia Park and the box and its contents were swimming in bags of water. We did our best to dry them out and keep them that way. Within an hour we had found our second box in the same park. This one began with a simple riddle that took us a while to unravel (while the first rain of our trip began to cascade in sheets from the sky). After a fair amount of frustration, Ryan solved the puzzle and we located Will S. about forty feet from where we had originally parked the car. For our first foray into this fantastic new diversion, I think we did pretty well. We discovered the next day that it might behoove one to do a little research prior to setting out on a quest. When the clues for our third adventure said "go up the trail and pass the second junction..." we didn't account for a two mile hike up a mountain. Still, we found "The Beautiful Butterfly" and caught sight of some spectacular views which we otherwise would never have come across. Home again to Portland we discovered that there are over a hundred Letterboxes in our esteemed City of Roses. Never a dull day of Summer again shall pass...

Look Out! Look Out! Jack Frost is about! He's after our fingers and toes; And, all through the night, The gay little sprite Is working where nobody knows. He'll climb a tree, So nimble is he, His silvery powder he'll shake; To windows he'll creep, And while we're asleep, Such wonderful pictures he'll make. Across the grass, He'll merrily pass, And change all its greenness to white; Then home he will go, And laugh, "Ho, Ho, Ho! What fun I have had in the night!" * * * * * * * * Come in the garden And play in the snow, A snowman we'll make, See how quickly he'll grow! Give him a hat, stick and pipe, And make him look gay. Such a fine game For a cold winter day! * * * * * * * * Snowflakes falling soft and light, Snowflakes falling in the night, Soft and Light, pure and white. When the sun shines out so bright, All the earth is dressed in white. * * * * * * * * When the North Wind whistles and blows, Cherry red is brother's nose, Very cold are sister's toes, When the North Wind's blowing, When the North Wind's blowing. Logs upon the fire we'll throw, For, as everybody must know, We will have a fall of snow, When the North Wind's blowing, When the North Wind's blowing. (Written By: Alfred S. Gatty) ********************** Furry bear If I were a bear, And a big bear too, I shouldn't much care If it froze or snew: I shouldn't much mind If it snowed or friz- I'd be all fur-lined With a coat like his! A.A. Milne ********************** See the little snowflakes Falling from the sky, On the hills and housetops, Soft and thick they lie. On the window ledges, On the branches bare; See how fast they gather, Filling all the air! Look into the garden Where the grass was green, Covered by the snowflakes, Not a blade is seen. Look outside the window, All looks still and white; Under snowy blankets, What a pretty sight! (J.D. Macey) * * * * * * * * Finger Plays A chubby little snowman had a carrot nose. (show long nose with a closed fist like a trumpet in front of face) Along a came a bunny, and what do you suppose? (Hands show the bunny hopping) That hungry little bunny, looking for his lunch, (wiggle nose like a bunny) Ate the snowman's carrot nose, Nibble, nibble, crunch (pretend to eat the carrot) (Oak meadow fingerplays) * * * * * * * * Five little eskimos by the igloo door one went out to feed the dogs, then there were four. Four little eskimos rowing out to sea, one jumped on an iceberg, then there were three. Three little eskimos making fish stew, one burned his finger, then there were two. Two little eskimos hunting just for fun, one chased a baby seal, then there was one. One little eskimo all his work was done, went home to supper, then there were none. (Winter, p.51) * * * * * * * * Chickadee, chickadee, Flitting through the holly tree- With your cap and scarf of black, Sweater gray upon your back You're warm and happy in the snow And when I hear you call, I know My little friend has come to say That wintertime's just fine for play. (From Ladybug magazine) * * * * * * * * Verse for Lighting the Advent Wreath The first light of Advent is the light of stones. Stones that live in crystals, seashells, and bones. The second light of Advent is the light of plants. Roots, stem, leaf, flower and fruit by whom we live and grow. The third light of Advent is the light of beasts. Animals of farm, field, forest, air and sea. All await the birth in greatest and in least. The fourth light of Advent is the light of humankind. The light of love, the light of thought, to give and to understand. (Rudolf Steiner) * * * * * * * * We light one candle shining bright Upon this Holy Advent night Fill Our Hearts with loving might Lead us to Christmas Day's brilliant light! Second Week: We light two candles... Third Week: We light three candles... Fourth Week: We light four candles... M.T. Shunemann, from The Christmas Star (available below) * * * * * * * * A candle's but a simple thing, it starts with just a bit of string, But dipped or rolled with patient hand, it gathers wax upon the strand. Until complete and snowy white, it gives at last a lovely light. Life seems so like that bit of string, each deed we do a simple thing. Yet day by day on life's strand, we work with patient heart and hand. It gathers joy, makes dark days bright, and gives at last a lovely light. * * * * * * * * Riddle I begin tall and thin, I end in a muddle, sad in a puddle (candle) * * * * * * * * Christmas Verses Softly, softly, through the darkness Snow is falling. Meekly, meekly in the meadows Lambs are calling. Coldly, coldly all around me Winds are blowing. Brightly, brightly up above me Stars are glowing. * * * * * * * * Christmas Wish To every hearth a little fire, To every board a little feast, To every heart a joy, To every child a toy, Shelter for bird and beast. * * * * * * * * Mary rocks her baby, Joseph holds a light, Ox and ass are standing In the stable bright. Shepherds in the doorway Come to greet the child, Now they kneel before Him And his mother mild. One holds out a lambskin Soft and white as snow, All shall give their presents Ere they homeward go. * * * * * * * * Story & Activity There was a giant big and bold Whose feet were getting very cold. He came along to our town And walked the stairs all up and down Calling "Is no one hearing me? My toes are freezing bitterly! No single shop that I could tell Has stocking giant-size to sell." A little gnome both old and wise. He gave him very good advice. He brought two pretty bits of stuff. The giant thought them good enough. He wrapped his feet, his pain was eased. And home he walked content and pleased. Materials: Knotted cloth dolls [this could be a play silk or gauze square the you knot to show head and other body parts] with 2 extra pieces of fabric to wrap the giant's feet. Children can watch you knotting the characters. VERSE: King Winter now is in the land, he reigns with cold and freezing hand. He makes Jack Frost touch nose and toes, and gives our cheeks a shining glow. FINGER PLAY: A chubby little snowman had a carrot nose. (show long nose with a closed fist like a trumpet in front of face) Along a came a bunny, and what do you suppose? (Hands show the bunny hopping) That hungry little bunny, looking for his lunch, (wiggle nose like a bunny) Ate the snowman's carrot nose, Nibble, nibble, crunch (pretend to eat the carrot) The Snow This is the way the snow comes down, Upon a winter day, But soon the golden sun comes out, And melts it all away. Lines 1 & 2: flutter fingers down from arms raised position until arms are lowered. Lines 3 & 4: make large circle with fingers for sun. — Author Unknown Making a Snowman Roll a snowball round and round, Round and round upon the ground. Make one, make two, here's what you do, You can build a snowman too. As the sun shines down some day, Poor snowman, he will melt away. Lines 1 & 2: roll hands around each other. Line 3: make two fists, then put one on top of the other. Lines 4 & 5: hold fists in snowman position. Line 6: open hands flat out on top of each other. — Gloria T. Delamar, Author Clap for Santa Claus O, clap, clap the hands, And sing with glee! For Christmas is coming And merry are we. How swift o'er the snow The tiny reindeer Are trotting and bringing Good Santa Claus near. Our Stockings we'll hang, And while we're asleep, Then down through the chimney Will Santa Claus creep. He'll empty his pack, Then up he will come And calling his reindeer, Will haste away home. Then clap, clap the hands! And sing out with glee, For Christmas is coming And merry are we!

Verse 3 - Lines 1 & 2: point down with four fingers of one hand. Lines 3 & 4: put one fist on top of the other to represent chimney andd put upper thumb inside of upper fist to represent Santa Claus going down chimney.
