Another great Blog

Out tooling around finding good resources for moms who homeschool and found this blog! What a gem! By 6 ladies ( I think) that all contribute. Great stuff! Enjoy!

Here's an excerpt from one of their entries:

I just had to pop in for a second and exclaim that I LOVE GARDENING! Even when the only thing I seem to be able to REALLY grow is radishes. Well, and potatoes. Lettuce and I seem to have this weird annual problem…I love it, it hates me, I try to grow it, it sees how many ways it can foil my plans. Mine is refusing to grow beyond 2 inches. What, like it doesn’t want me to eat it or something?

What really kills is that Lydia and Lynn’s homes both have LOVELY growing lettuces of all varieties…almost like they are doing it on purpose, just to laugh at me behind my back or something…

ANYways, there is just something about having hands in dirt (and being surrounded by green-smells) that is SO deeply RIGHT. Plus, someday I might even be able to grow something besides radishes. Until then, it’s just delicious to be out there getting bit by mosquitoes (Alaska’s state bird, no joke) and seeing just how much dirt I can get under my formerly clean fingernails.

Delicious isn’t even a wonderful enough word, but I can’t think of a better one. I’ll go back outside and ponder the right word while pulling up chickweed around the raspberries. Did you know that pet lovebirds really enjoy eating chickweed? Supposedly it’s healthy for us peoples, too, but I’m not eating it. Not today. Maybe I can get my 7 year old to try it…

Warmly,

Molly,
