Bread Photos

Ok, so in my last post, I said I would post a pic of our Pump­kin bread. Well, that day, I made what turned out to be Persimmon/Pumpkin bread. #1 Son labeled it Per­sump­kin bread.  Clever, Right? Any­way, the bread was sooooooooo good that we for­got to take a pic­ture. (insert blush­ing face here) I’m slowly learning […]

Another Week has come and gone

This week started rather slowly.  The Prin­ci­pal of our school, AKA “Daddy” was home for the day, so it made school almost impos­si­ble. We unschooled that day.

I’m glad to say, that after count­less attempts to track down the elu­sive cat­tail, we found them!  Of course, after we jour­neyed to pho­to­graph and sketch them, a friend of mine informed me that there are cattails […]
