This past weekend, we went to the nearby wildlife refuge for their annual celebration. First we went on the tram, the took us through an area of the refuge to the lookout tower over the marsh and wetlands. We learned that the marsh, is supposed to be naturally salty, but over the years has “freshed”…

Nature Study Tuesday~October 5~Apple Orchard
I am sorry I am getting this up late. Our four year old most likely broke his arm Saturday, and I have been running. He has an ortho appointment tomorrow, so we should know for sure by then. Friday we went to an Apple Orchard for a field trip. It is a beautiful place to…
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 in Our Homeschool~Relaxed, Fun, and Educational
We have been doing some description or another of Nature Study for many years, long before we were officially homeschooling. I have always had an interest in Nature, and knew that I would pass it down to my children. If we give our children regular opportunities to get in touch with God’s creation, a habit…
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…
Nature Study Tuesday ~ September 14 ~ Family Zoo Trip
Our family does not go to the zoo all that often, or at least the big zoo. We go to the smaller zoo about two times a year. This was the year we went to the big one though. We saw so many creatures from God’s creation, and you know, every single one is beautiful…
Nature Study Tuesday~September 7~ The USS-Unidentifiable Slithering Snake
This week I had our oldest out mowing. After a little while he came in carrying a snake, that had it’s clipped by the mower. It was about twelvish inches long and marked more like a bull snake then a garter snake. He was holding it and concerned about then tail, when it started acting…
Nature Study Tuesday~August 31~Bull Snake, Giant Toad, Mushrooms, and more…
One of Philip’s goals this summer was to catch a bull snake, and catch a bull snake he did. This was not one of those cuddly snakes, notice the gloves? This thing decided to strike at me as I was walking by. Yeah, umm, I didn’t handle this one. He found it outside of his…
Nature Study Tuesday~August 24~Healing, teeny Tiny Snake.
As I posted yesterday, life is a bit busy here. Getting back to normal school hours, taking care of Stormy and canning are taking priority right now, so, my memes will be up, just maybe not when they have been. Just come link up when you can though. Stormy our horse who was injured just…
Nature Study Tuesday~August 17~Linky is here.
Ok, as some of you may have noticed, I decided for obvious reasons not to make all my readers read my graphic horse injury post to find the linky. Our nature study for a while will be our horse, unless we come upon something else. However, due to the amount of time I am spending…
Nature Study Tuesday~August 17~WARNING~The one with graphic horse injury pictures.
Because of the graphic content, I will post a separate post, so that you can link up without having to look at the pictures. PLEASE NOTE THIS POST CONTAINS VERY GRAPHIC PICTURES!! Last week during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, our mare was injured by another horse. When I went out to feed the…
Nature Study Tuesday~August 10~The one where it is TOOOOOO HOT !!
Yes, I did shout that. It has been near or over 100 degrees for days. My green beans are burning up despite watering nearly ever day. It is just plain toooooo HOT. There has been one day in the last week that it hit 113. I have been able to get some beans from our…
Nature Study Tuesday August 3~The one where it was toooooo HOT.
Yep, it has literally been tooo hot out side to really enjoy nature. Seriously, it is almost 7 pm right now and still 109 outside. One item we have enjoyed is a horse that was brought onto the farm. Yeah, isn’t he purty? We think so too, and since we are helping care for him…
Nature Study Tuesday July 27-Pinkies, Sunflowers and Skies.
This week we had a lot of fun exploring God’s creation. One of the hay fields that Brad cares for is within a quarter mile of a National Wildlife Refuge. That is where the “pinkies” were found. I posted the other day on Facebook, a picture of them, trying to see if anyone could guess…
Nature Study Tuesday July 20—Insects, chickens, giant sunflowers, and sandhill plums
It has not been a week of nature here. I have limited my outside time, since, my allergic reaction. However, I did get a new to me camera yesterday. My other camera was getting to where it would not focus half the time. I am passing it to our oldest, and now have a new…

Here I share about my world. My world as a stay at home homeschooling
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person. -
