more about Suzanna

Thanks for joining us. I’m Suzanna, mom to four boys and now an adorable little girl who’s growing up too fast and who will never doubt that her family loves her. I am in wonder of what God has done for me through His Son, Jesus Christ; in wonder of the precious husband He has given me, and of the family we are raising together by His grace. [Read more]

I’m finishing up the July nature study and the physical copies are available for pre-order. I wanted to share two books I came across that I thought fit perfectly with our study of monarchs and butterflies and that are included in the July book list.

Winged Wonders: Solving the Monarch Migration Mystery by Meeg Pincus (illustrated by Yas Imamura) is a beautiful book about how the migration of the monarchs was discovered and all the people who helped out along the way.

Butterflies Belong Here by @deborah_hopkinson (illustrated by Meilo So and published by @chroniclekidsbooks ) tells the life cycle of the Monarch (and its dependence on milkweed) through the story of a young girl that moves to a new school. At first, she feels small and insignificant, but as she leads her class and neighborhood in taking steps to bring back the Monarchs her confidence grows.

Both of these beautiful books are part of a giveaway I’m hosting. This time the giveaway is on my blog since I want to include my readers that don’t have social media. Link in bio.

We found the perfect rock for a bee drinking station. My daughter enjoyed filling it with a few of her favorite rocks. I added a very small drop of lemongrass because I read it helps the bees find it (and I happened to have it around). I'll be sure to let you know if it works!

CLOSED 🌼GIVEAWAY 🌼

I recently came across some beautiful artwork featuring native plants and pollinators by @green.blossom.painting . Daisy has graciously donated a pack of her watercolor cards for this giveaway. Each card features one of our native plants and one of its pollinators. There are twelve cards in all, featuring different artwork on each card. These would be just beautiful displayed in your home or sent to a friend to brighten their day.

I love the delicate hand-written notes on each card to help you learn more about our native plants and pollinators. Each plant and bug is named, common name and scientific name, and even the basic growing conditions for each plant - so you can consider if you want to add them to your garden!

In her shop, she also has calendars featuring the same artwork (pictured in the last photo). These are not included in the giveaway, but they would be a great way to get your hands on her beautiful art.

Just sharing my first little tomatoes, because growing things makes me happy.

What's bringing you joy today?

Sometimes when you have a garden, the question changes from what we would like to have for dinner to what do we have for dinner. (Paraphrased from Solar Gardening by Leander and Gretchen Poisson.)

In this case, I'm glad that our friends introduced us to the best-ever use for kale. The recipe is simple. Fried onions, garlic, and kale mixed with tuna and cooked rice, seasoned with soy sauce, and wrapped in sushi wraps. We cut the sushi wraps into small pieces so we can wrap each bite individually as we eat it.

We were doing our insect scavenger hunt and I was reminded of something I read about nature study, "Zeroes are data, too."

If you teach your children to approach nature study with this attitude, it takes away the chance of disappointment of not finding what we're looking for. We didn't find any grasshoppers or ladybugs. Why? Was it the wrong time of year? The wrong time of day? The wrong location?

This questioning opens a world of possibilities for future expeditions. Should we try again in the afternoon? How about next month? What other locations should we visit?

I gave my daughter the job of painting strawberry

I gave my daughter the job of painting strawberry decoy rocks this morning. The idea is that the birds peck at the rocks and learn that your strawberries are not that tasty after all. I really don't know if this works (covering them with a net is probably the best idea), but it was a fun, and possibly useful, art project.

On another note, I read recently in The Suburban Microfarm by @tenthacrefarm that chives make a useful mulch for 🍓. The strong smell confuses insects. We don't have very many strawberries, but if I planted more, I'd plant extra chives with them. They're a pretty addition to a garden anyway. She also suggests cilantro which I happened to be doing. I love learning about useful plant relationships!

The more I learn about the insects we're surrounded by, the more I find to be amazed by. There are so many fascinating facts to discover. They each have their own life cycles, habits, preferred food sources, etc.

Ladybugs, lace wings, honey bees, and leaf cutter bees are on the nature calendars this month.
