Whatever you want to call it, this week has been good for me. I have overcome some craziness that was literally pulling me under waves with currents that were drifting me away from where God wanted me to be. I hadn’t planned this break, but I know I needed it. I have worked on several […]

September 6, 2011 by 1 Comment
Welcome to our Nature Study Tuesday. I no longer do these every Tuesday, but we do them around monthly. A week or so ago, my son found a pupa, I couldn’t get my camera close enough to get a picture that you could see. However, my son was out side constantly watching it every […]

Welcome back to Nature Study Tuesday. We took a break over the coldest months of the winter, but now it is warming up and time to get back outside and enjoy God’s creation. Over the winter our oldest Philip, AKA Nature Boy, fed an opossum in our garage. This opossum has been lose and able […]

October 5, 2010 by Leave a Comment
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 […]
Nature Study Tuesday~ September 21~On or Off the Fence…
September 20, 2010 by 2 Comments
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
September 14, 2010 by 1 Comment
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 […]

August 30, 2010 by 3 Comments
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

July 27, 2010 by 3 Comments
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 June 8
June 8, 2010 by 1 Comment
Well, we have been out in nature, and we have observed a ton of nature. However, I have no pictures. Sorry, no excuses other then a very busy week full of VBS, and packing for our homeschool convention and being there, coming home and such. While at the convention, I found lots of encouragement to […]
Nature Study Tuesday June 1—Nature Walk at Quivera National Wildlife Refuge
May 31, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Last week on a day that was a bit crazy, as in restless children, needing outdoor time, but SUPER muddy yard, we went to our area Wildlife Refuge. We spent about two and a half hours there. When we first got there, we saw this: A Mama deer and her brand new baby. A snake […]
Nature Study Tuesday-May 25 Around the Farm Yard
May 25, 2010 by 1 Comment
We have had a lot of outside time this week. From gardening, to just getting out and enjoying some nice warm spring weather. We have observed a garter snake, a bull snake, and two stink pot turtles. Sorry, no pictures, but sometimes carrying a camera around outside working is not so time savvy in the […]

Nature Study Tuesday—April 20
April 20, 2010 by 2 Comments
This post will be about our favorite resources. We have books about traditional nature study, field guides, and so much more. Our family LOVE books, and considering that we have over 50 feet of bookshelf space and that is not enough. We consider having great books to read an investment, some consider it a waste […]
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.
