Look at what’s living in our backyard… Here’s mamma. She was with us last year and lives under our shed. (you can see one of their holes under the doorway in the above picture and second below) Imagine our surprise and delight to see this little guy tagging along! They are so adorable to watch, nibbling away at the vegetation in the backyard. Now if I can just keep them out of my tomato plants! Anyone know what they are??? Well, I do and if you can tell me what they are ... continue reading...
A few of my favorite things…
While many homeschoolers around us are wrapping up their school year, we’re still going strong. We school the year around mostly because it just works for us.
