Amazing Sight!!!

Posted at 10:26 PM on Jun. 18, 2008

Today, I pulled out of our garage with Little One to head to the doctor's office. I looked over at the corner of our house and got a glimpse of something that made me do a MAJOR double take. At first I thought someone had stuck some gaudy lawn ornament there or something. Then it dawned on me what I was looking at, a wild TURKEY!!!! I live in the middle of suburbia!!! In my wildest dreams, I would have NEVER expected to see a turkey standing in my yard!!! I slowed down, opened my window and did the homeschool mom thing. I grabbed my camera!! That picture is not great because I wasn't able to zoom in because it started walking off, but you can see it. I put the picture up to full screen and then it really showed up pretty well. It was funny because Little One at first called it an Emu and then an ostrich. I told him an ostrich is taller than his mommy and daddy. Little One said, "Maybe it was taller, maybe it was an optical illusion." lol!!! It was funny hearing such a big phrase tumble out of Little One's mouth!!!

What a difference 4 days can make. My little garden is now a week old and it's been 4 days since the last pictures were taken. You can really see the tiny sprouts coming up now. Yay!!!

Peonies in Bloom

Posted at 9:55 PM on Jun. 5, 2008

We really don't have a garden (yet!) but we do have one bush of beautiful peonies that are in bloom. These were taken a few days ago. Unfortunately, with all the storms we have had recently, the blooms have suffered. Luckily, I got pictures BEFORE that happened!

Lynn's Nature Notes

Hello! Welcome to my nature blog! I am a homeschool mom to 2 boys, Prince Caspian (PC) is 11 and Little One (LO) is 5. I am new to nature studies and honestly, I tend to be more of an armchair naturalist, but I really want to change. I am hoping this blog will hold me accountable as I lead my darling children in celebrating God's Creation. I hope you will join us on that journey. Please come again!
