This Plant was adopted about 15 years ago when they tore out the planters at the
Arcata Co-op. My oldest daughter insisted that we try to save one as they were tearing them out and
throwing them in a dumpster!
Some oddball shots today. No time for a digital life...Close up of a PEACE ROSE.....
This is a Funny Phallic Flower.....it volunteered many years ago in a pot w/a nursery rose. The blossoms are creamy white and this is the seedpod...
Oh My! Pears!............
The Lavender.......It is amazing right now. The seeds are microscopic, yet I insist on attempting to start them from seed. It is such a miracle
every time. That something so completely tiny, could sprout and grow into something so unique and beautiful, so enduring, and really! ....so much BIGGER!!! These were started from seed several years ago.
Lettuce, and a close up of our amazing Climbing Rose.....
Wow, the longest day has come and gone.....Alas! The slide towards winter has already begun. Still, the birds start singing in my haven on the hill before 5 am. (!) With first light creeping over the horizon shortly afterwards....I am very busy with completion of our school year. Tomorrow is our final day. It will be a wonderful time complete with a homespun pioneer puppet play - based on a book called
Smiling Hill Farm - (damn! can't figure out the
underline html...bold will have to do...) by my youngest who is 8, and a six dish feast of Thai food with an oral presentation on the same, by my 11 year old. We have home schooled since 2002 and it has been one of the best decisions we have made as a family. I encourage you to check out Calvert School and home schooling in general, if you are at all interested. Calvert offers great support for independent schools as well. The sweet bonding between my girls, our relaxed schedule, and Calvert's complete and user friendly curriculum, have made it a very good choice for us. Calvert School has been in existence since 1905, and their curriculum is very thorough, with a cohesive sequence throughout the grades. We have now taught all their elementary grades k-6, and have been very impressed with the scope of study and the connections between each year. Obviously, this year, our schedule has been
really relaxed, as we are yet to complete the year, and the first day of summer has come and gone! But I am happy with our progress and would not trade this experience for anything
