our annual lantern walk

we had our annual lantern walk to celebrate Martinmas....

rinne made us little cards with this sweet verse to recite:

the Sunlight fast is dwindling 
my little lamp needs kindling
its spark shines bright in darkest night...
dear lantern guide me with your light.

our seedling class made their own little lanterns.....

other friends brought their handmade lanterns as well...they were so very pretty....

we began our walk right before dusk.....

took a group photo in one of our favorite spots.....

and returned to find some surprise luminaries lit for us!

 we shared some warm cider.....

it was a lovely walk.....
