Yesterday was such a beautiful day, almost 80 degrees! Since the weather was so perfect we decided to do some gardening. Elise and Isaac picked the last of the peas before we cleared the bed for tomatoes. We cleared all of our beds, turned vermiculite and compost in to the soil and started planting. So far, we have tomatoes, okra, zucchini, white bush zucchini, scallopini squash,
tabasco peppers and cucumbers.

Camille and Joseph played in the sun!

This is my strawberry bed. I have decided to let the strawberries take it over. It used to be the herb garden, but they will have a new home this year.

Camille ended up with Brian's hat!
This is a great picture of Brian and Joseph!
We had a great day in the garden. We harvested carrots, onions, and beets which I roasted with some olive oil and garlic for dinner! We also ate peas from the garden which were so sweet and delicious! I am excited for the new plants to grow, and to eat tomatoes and squash to our hearts content!
While we were working in the garden, Elise and Isaac found a caterpillar. This caterpillar they named wormie. They created a home for him with a mason jar, leaves, etc. They decided to write a report about him, so they are making notes about him each day. Today is day two. It is so exciting to see the kids excited about learning! It also fun to watch how naturally the older kids help the younger kids learn. Elise has helped Isaac with the data collection. This is one example of learning happening the way I envision learning will take place when we home school. I guess we already do!
