Science Experiment

On rainy days, we head into our inside classroom and do science experiments!

Longest Lizard Ever

Hard to see from this picture, but we found this very long lizard taking an afternoon nap right next to our raised beds.

A Visitor

Look closely! Do you see the praying mantis that lives in our tomato plant? We love her because she eats the bugs who eat our tomatoes!

Potions Class

In this class we cut a variety of herbs from the garden and used them to make magical potions that smelled delicious!

What's Growing in Your Garden?

We have sunflowers and watermelon in these two beds.

Camellia Tree

Beautiful!

Beautiful Rose

A reminder to always stop and smell the roses.

Sunflowers

Sunflower fun!

Crabby

This little guy posed for many pictures on our trip to Moonstone Beach.

Beach Day

Isn't it time for a trip to the beach? Fingers and toes in the cool, wet sand.

Magical Path

Taken on one of our walks in lovely Fryman Canyon. I love adventures-how about you?

Garden Herbs

Delicious basil and mint cut from our herb garden.

Summer Sunflowers

These sunflowers grew twice as tall as my daughter! A beautiful sight to share with our neighborhood.

Let's BEE Friends

So happy to have our bee friends who keep our garden growing. Please make sure you don't plant anything sprayed with neonicotinoids-they kill our bee friends. Armstrongs is the only place we buy plants from because they are the only place that doesn't spray neonicotinoids! Bee a friend to the bees.

Crow Feather

We love to find feathers and identify which bird they came from! Caw-Caw. Do you know this is a Crow feather?

Dreamcatcher

In this class we learned about feathers and made our own dreamcatchers.

Groundhog Day

Yep its gonna be an early spring this year!
