There Is No Uncaring In Unschooling
"He'd fooled us. He'd been learning all along--we just hadn't been able to see it because it didn't follow from our "teaching." It came from doing, sharing, and observing, from osmotically absorbing what was around him. I recalled that he once said to Mark, who was giving him snowboard instruction, "Dad, would you stop trying to teach me and just let me learn?"

"catkins" I have never heard them called that. And I like it! What a precious little giftie! The part about the sap rising. How can you utter such words when snow is falling in the state of maine??
Ah, well, enjoy the sappiness ;)
Oooh, we don't have pussy willows around here. It makes me so sad!
Cherish them for me, ok? We just got 3 cm of snow and it's -20. It's going to be at least a day before spring comes to visit. ;)
