Spring is arriving - are you noticing the small changes? In this video, we’ll take a look at the first signs of spring and how you can document them through a Calendar of Firsts and a nature journal.
Here in Ireland, February is the first month of spring, and every year we mark the arrival of frogspawn, hazel catkins, birdsong, and more. It’s a simple but powerful way to connect with the rhythm of the seasons.
In this video:
✔️ What is a Calendar of Firsts? (Inspired by Charlotte Mason)
✔️ Creative ways to document seasonal changes in a nature journal
🌿 Try this challenge: Go outside every day for a week and notice one sign of the changing season. Let me know in the comments—what’s the first sign of spring you’ve spotted this year?
