A Month in Nature

Do you want to add nature, beauty, art and poetry to your children’s days? In the early years, children learn best by hands-on experience. Words mean little to those who have not yet experienced the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings those words represent. Read More about “Wonder-Filled Days in Nature”…

Picture Book Biographies of Famous Mathematicians

March 25, 2019

A while ago we checked out The Boy Who Loved Math from the library. It quickly became one of our favorite math picture books. I loved all the math incorporated into each picture. My son studied it over and over and read all the fine print in the back and said he wants one for his own. This led me on a search to find other great math picture book biographies. […]

We came home from a 5- day trip last night, and on

We came home from a 5- day trip last night, and one of the first things we did this morning was harvest the peas.

We planted two kinds of peas this year on the first warm day in March. This was probably a month too early, but we made a plastic tent over the fence and almost all of them germinated. I'm not sure we gained much from planting early, except the delight of working in the garden after a long winter.

The tall ones in the back are Sugar Snap and you can eat the pods. The shorter ones are a shell pea. We picked a bowl of each this morning. We all love fresh peas, so these are just for fresh eating.

The July nature study is available!

If you're used to a traditional classroom setting for your child's education, it can be hard to picture something else. Try Wonder-Filled Days in Nature and receive monthly nature calendars and activities to see how much fun learning through nature can be.

"I absolutely love and appreciate this program! For me, it was the missing-link between reading, drawing from, and referencing books detailing the natural world, and watching it come to life for my 10-year-old daughter. The facts and activities are seasonal, simple, and enjoyable! It is a piece of cake to follow along, and I am learning as much as she is." -Chrystal

I love seeing how much the garden has grown in just a little over two weeks!

We greatly expanded the garden this year, and it still filled up too fast.

I'm looking forward to eating more from the garden as summer progresses, but for now I'm enjoying fresh cilantro at my doorstep.

I thought I'd share a little more about what I learned hatching quail.

1. When they first come out of the shell, they may look like they'll never walk well. They'll be curled up and you wonder if they'll ever be able to straighten their neck, and if they do, will it even support their head? Don't worry. It may take a few hours or even overnight, but for the most part, they'll be fine. All of mine were.

2. Curled toes is probably not something you need to worry about. Even the worst cases I had, straightened out on their own. If it makes you feel better, after you take them out of the incubator, you can gently stretch them, but ours cleared up overnight without me doing anything.

3. Like newborn babies they fall asleep without warning. They will fall over as dead with their feet sticking out oddly. Don't worry; they're just sleeping.

4. It's okay to help a stuck chick. I helped one after no progress overnight and another after several hours. I took a tweezer and carefully removed bits of shell (continuing on the path around the shell that they had started). Then I let them push it open by themselves. This is after they start unzipping the shell, not after they pip. It's usual for them to pip and then wait a day before emerging.

5. If you read a lot about raising quail, you'll think they're hard to keep alive. Maybe I'm lucky or prepared, but I haven't found it so. Of course, We haven’t had them long. I'm using a heatplate for heat in a brooder tent and it's working perfectly. They come out to eat and drink and go under the plate to keep warm.

6. Incubating is a bit addicting. I'm starting to wonder what I can hatch next. 😅

Watching our quail hatch out the last few days has

Watching our quail hatch out the last few days has been so much fun. We've spent more time than I care to admit around the incubator watching the eggs first start wiggling, seeing who can see the first pip, and then watching the little quail break out.

There are a few things I wasn't prepared for concerning incubating quail.

1. How very weird they look when they first hatch.
2. Their habit of literally falling asleep in the middle of any activity and looking completely dead as they take a short nap.

Now for the really fun part...enjoying these little fluff balls.

I'm grateful to @incubator_warehouse for their gift of the IncuView incubator and the great hatching experience we were able to experience as a result.

It has been said of wildflowers “In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.” –Aldo Leopold

Join us for the month of June as we explore wildflowers, birds, ladybugs, leaf cutter bees, rocks and more! We'll also be studying the artists Monet and Winslow Homer and reading poetry by Emily Dickinson and Ralph Waldo Emerson. There are a few fun scavenger hunts included and as always a long list of beautiful picture books to enjoy with your children.

"Thousands of wildflowers blossom every year and a

"Thousands of wildflowers blossom every year and are never see, admired, or enjoyed by anyone but God.They just do what they were created to do.

Their mission isn't to be recognized, applauded, or regarded; their mission is to grow, drop their seeds, and do their part in the bigger picture of creation.

They don't compete or strive to be taller or more beautiful than their fellow wildflowers. They simply do what they were meant to do...

Wildflowers don't live for someday, when they might be admired or added to a bouquet and displayed in a vase.

They grow under the sovereign care of God.

They blossom for the glory of God.

They flourish for the purposes of God.

Wildflowers are good teachers to the anxious human heart that's always on the lookout for the next best thing...

The same is true for you.

Your life matters, and your mission isn't for tomorrow or 'someday' - your mission is for right now."
