My mom has been sick and Jasmine now has caught it. What a perfect time to watch movies. Yesterday evening she got her grandma to watch The Taming of the Shrew with her. And this morning she wrapped up in a blanket and watched Much Ado About Nothing with her mom. I shelled fresh local pistacios from our CSA share while sharing my daughter's passion for Shakespeare with her.
Jasmine felt better this evening, and continued preparing her Halloween costume--a gypsy. She watched Latcho Drom, a documentary about gypsies, and made angle bracelets out of bells and beads.
Latcho Drom-"safe journey" in Rom-follows the path of gypsy migration from Northern India to Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Spain. A stunningly beautiful movie, it has no dialogue or explanation, but lets the action and music speak for itself. Since Latcho Drom is one of my all-time favorite movies, I am posting excerpts from it.
This evening, Jasmine picked Lives of the Presidents as a bed-time story. No, the learning never stops.
