Nature Study Tuesday~March 21~Windy Kansas, Spring is blowing in.
There are little signs of spring all over. The strawberries are starting to poke through the hay we mulched them with, the alfalfa fields are more green then brown, and the wind is BLOWING.

Homeschool Snips and Tips Wednesday~March 9~Homeschooling through Big and Little Trials

Nature Study Tuesday~September 28~ Large Moth
This week we were out playing, and our landlord/adopted grandpa drove in with a special package. I guess our love of nature must have rubbed off on him. Anyway, he brought us a large moth. We believe it is a tobacco hornworm moth, but umm, it seems that these big moths all look very…
Nature Study Tuesday~ September 21~On or Off the Fence…
Once again our oldest was working with dad near Quivera Wildlife Refuge, when he found three Eastern Fence Lizards. These are the neatest little creatures, and they are really cute in a scaly kind of a way. They are so fun to watch. They bob their heads, race around and the tiny one will crawl…
