K-4 School Art Work
I have been reading in “The Duty of Delight, the Diaries of Dorothy Day, how she spent a lot of time taking care of her grandchildren. I am not a famous person like Dorothy Day but, like her, I do make taking care of my grandchildren a priority. Actually it is more of joy (a duty of delight) than work.
The last few days, when I have been with them, my three grandchildren have been bringing home art projects from schools. Tonight we took pictures of the art and put them on their Graf Kids web page on a spot called school art work. The art work speaks a lot about them and their art teachers in school.
While I was putting the art work on the web my two grandsons developed a rap and dance about worms and cows. I did not have a good way to record it but next time I am here we will. Their parents have a video camera we can use.
Speaking about worms and cows, the dairy farmer across the road and I finally hooked up today about finishing off the rows of cow manure we will, with the help of worms, turn into castings or ‘black gold’. I am giving a slide presentation tomorrow morning to my daughter-in-law’s middle school classes on the Pilgrimage of Peace, and then will return to my son’s house to finish off the two rows and plant the worms.
My grandchildren duties of delight are drawing to an end, but I will be back. Where else can I find such creative art and beautiful nature in one place?
