Nature and fried pickles
This week at "Beetles and Bees", we have been busy with the wonderful outdoors. The temperture as dropped and we are loving the low humidity. We spent Monday using a new curriculum I discovered online. It was developed by "Shining Dawn Books" and they have many nature studies to choose. I bought "Peaceful Ponds" and We love it.
We also studied our local Pine trees and the children were surprised to find our local lake to be drained about 5 feet so they went exploring in the mud and they saw a lot of wildlife footprints . We are using Anna Comstock's "Nature Study" for the tree study.
Have any of you ever eaten fried pickles? While I am typing I am eating some for the first time and they are great. [Us southerners love to fry food] Unhealthly yes but I did not buy them someone asked me to taste.

This week has been so much of extra curricular work we haven't done much {paperWork}.
We did an awesome nature study at a local lake and the children ended up getting muddy and saw all kinds of wildlife footprints. I'll post the photos when I get a chance. Our goldie Dallie came with us and LOVED the water and the mud. She tried to go after the sticks but they kept sinking. We studied our local Pine trees and our next visit we will study Ponds with a really cool new curriculum.

IT WORKED!
This blogging is so satisfying and fulfilling. I am able to put my thoughts and our homeschool experiences in writing. I love it.
David is almost done with the stripping of the second canoe and it is flatter on the bottom for a more stable trip on a lake instead of on a river.
He will also be building window-boxes for the front of our newly designed front yard. It has been a long haul (9 years) but we are making gardening easier.I am so excited about the window boxes and the picket fence. I will have lots of pictures to share.Hopefully I will then now how to write caption with everyone then.ha ha
