A little Aerosmith reference for you rockers out there. I know, I know, it’s been a really long time since I wrote. I won’t even attempt to catch up on all that has happened since my last post. This morning I found myself with some time to clean off the memory card from the [...] We have been rearranging and cleaning out the basement so I decided to move the school room to another location. It was in the main part of the basement before and was a mixture of school and play things. I thought that having a room specifically for school may be nice.

Bird watching, hiking, mushroom hunting, and identifying new things we come across are always on our spring agenda. This past couple of weeks alone we have found several [...] Sometime last fall the kids spotted this interesting thing on the branch of a bush as we were leaving church. Never short of curiosity, they convinced me that we had to take it home and see what it was. Unfortunately, after bringing it home we got distracted, sat it in the “nature window” and [...] Although not all things I had hoped would happen this year will be, we have plenty of things that are. Here’s what’s happening on our homestead this spring: -Signs of spring are everywhere! Crocuses have bloomed, daffodils are looking wonderful, hostas are poking their heads up. -Bees are buzzing and the hive [...]
Lilly and I spent some time over the weekend doing and easy nature craft. She is very creative and loves to do projects. I saw this idea somewhere on the web and it was just perfect for the beautiful fall day we chose to do it. First, we set out on a [...] |
