Gardening

We started seeds.  Way.  Too.  Early.  This year we watched the Christmas parade in sweatshirts. There was practically no winter weather.  On a freakishly warm day in February we spent a few hours rebuilding our raised beds.

Then in March we started seeds, and right about the time they should have been planted out we got a snow storm.






As soon as the April snow melts we'll take these babies outside.

Library Haul 12/9/15

I have a backlog of pictures from library hauls that I never got up onto the blog, so here is the super late picture of some of the books we used to study some earth science.

Right around this time, the boys also vetoed ancient history and decided that they would rather study American history.  I think it was inspired by the Little House audio books we were working our way through.  When I told my husband about our change of plans he complimented me on my flexibility. I tend to get "attached" to my plans.  I still tried to work through the facts in chronological order, rather than skip to the 1800's.  And these are some of the books we started with.
