It was too early to start gardening, so I visited some new-to-me web spots:
This is the most wonderful gardening blog I have seen. A homeschool mom, her son, a new tiller, a beautiful plan. You can see her first ripe strawberry too. Enjoy! And the pages of her nature journal page is also a sight to see.
That blog led me to this incredible lesson plans page at the Getty Museum webpage. Wow.
Also to a book quiz: do it, it's fun. (Try it multiple times with different answers--don't we all have multifaceted personalities--and see what books you "are". I went from Anne of Green Gables to Animal Farm.)
And ultimately to this, found in more than one site.
Try it:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
(Here's mine: DISHLIKE. Resembling a Dish.
The Official Scrabble Dictionary, 3rd edition. I played Scrabble with Number Three and Hedgemom last night over her Rhubarb Crisp and coffee. I won. Send me a comment with yours if you'd like.)
