Durant Nature Park
By admin, on September 25th, 2009
Thursday was a fieldtrip day and it was just what we needed. I needed to visit with the other moms in our homeschool group and get my homeschooling (and “mommy” and “housekeeper” and “chef”…) battery recharged.
Michaela really enjoyed the class on birds and being with her friends.
We were able to hold an emu egg…
and an ostrich egg.
We also had the opportunity to examine a hummingbird’s nest. I’ve seen many hummingbirds in my garden, but I’ve never yet found a nest.
Durant Nature Park in Raleigh has some gorgeous nature trails that take you through the woods. You’ll love the sight and sounds of the water.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
