Hello Everyone. How are we today? Today was a sad day. ☹️
It has been a very long while since I posted about our day here at Garden Blossoms Day Care. I do love to show off what we do, but without photos to respect the privacy of my children in care, it can gets a little challenging to do. Lately I have been trying to think of what I can show here. I love to talk about what we do, and especially about where we go when we are outside.
But today sadly it is more about what my garden blossoms didn't do. Yes, we actually did go outside to our playground. Same as yesterday. But not the two hours. Far from it. Not running and burning off lots of energy. Far from it. Twenty minutes tops was all I felt safe to give them for the last two days. And I had to time it early enough in the morning. The two key words for our outdoor time this morning were "low energy" coined by my oldest one in care. So wise of him! The kids had fun still. As always! They were happily unaware of how sad this was. But all the while I kept a close eye on the changing skies.
My posts sometimes come back to me through memory notifications in one, two, three,...seven or so years after. What will life be like then and how on this earth will these little garden blossoms grow? How can flowers grow in air like today's? Climate politics aside ( such a weird term, climate is climate) it is a sad day when kids have to stay inside because their outside poses too much danger. This never, ever happened when I was a child. No extreme temperature days. No air quality days.
Today was a sad day. But the kids don't know it.
