Today, two friends came over to play with Sylvia and Lily. They spent hours outside doing lots of great things, but they spent the most time on Mother Nature’s Palace – restaurant extraordinaire. They created menus and made very creative dishes using grass, leaves, bark, mushrooms, even cut up bugs and millipedes. They had so much fun! It’s amazing what they can do with just a few simple items found in nature. And I had the pleasure of dining there. Not quite Fancy’s Diner, but quite fun nonetheless. Oh – and there are 2 other random photos at the end!

Menu written on birch bark; plates made of tree “cookies”; appetizer (or appetite, as Lily says) made of grass.

Centipede salad (you can see them cut up on the side). You can also see the napkin and silverware to the right.

I would travel miles to dine at Mother Natures Palace. Brings back such good memories.
