My Horse has been Conducting a Science Experiment...

This Article was published in Homeschooling Articles

    Dulcy thought I wasn’t doing enough school, so she thought she would help me with my science.
    Do you know what happens when you put alfalfa in water?? It makes chlorophyll.  Straight chlorophyll is extremely gross. It smells like blood. I went down last week and noticed this bloody smell. I didn’t know what it was. Then I went to give Dulcy water and noticed what it was. She had put her alfalfa in her water, thus the bloody smell.
    See chlorophyll is plant blood. It is the green pigment in plants that harness the sun’s energy in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in plants performs metabolic functions such as respiration and growth. Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except that its central atom is magnesium, whereas that of the human blood is iron.
    So see why it smelled like blood?? The even funnier part of this is when the Suarez’s were here last time, Auntie and I were talking about chlorophyll and how it was like blood. We drink chlorophyll, mint flavored, so it tastes ok. But Auntie has had straight chlorophyll that tastes like blood. She did not like it.

    So it was funny that Dulcy put the alfalfa in her water and it turned to chlorophyll and conducted a science experiment.

A little info  on Chlorophyll:
    Chlorophyll is very good for you. It is a digestive tract detoxifier, supports intestinal health, supports circulatory health, and many others. Mom actually was really sick from being outside in the sun, and she drank some and felt loads better.
    We took chlorophyll when we were sick and it did help. It is especially good for pregnant women!!
    So I have done my science for the week now. Thanks to my horse!! LOL!!

I thought it was really funny.

As Always...

Hey Amanda!
I was late on commenting on your last post about Friends, but I wanted to tell you now that I thought it was great!!
You and your sister are such great friends...When I left blogging a little bit (a half of a year actually) to take a break, y'all didn't forget about me even though I had sort of left. Y'all both e-mailed me and encouraged me even when I wasn't at HSB, and that meant alot!!

Anyway, you and your sis are such great people, and I love your blogs and visit them as much as I can to check for new posts. Keep up the great work! And thanks for your friendship :-)

Luv, Brooke

LOL! That is really funny!

I did type that comment I said I was going to leave. I was commenting your modesty post and I had Gunnar on my lap so I was typing with only one hand. I finished my rather long comment but when I clicked "post comment" the internet quit for a minute. I clicked "back" and "refresh" but it was all gone.

So, I really enjoyed reading your modesty post and I think it's great that those girls were trying to fix their dresses. It is true that it is really hard to find modest clothing. Shirts especially. They are either too tight or not very pretty. Why?

What I Believe

I am a Biblical Believer and don’t conform to the denominations of today’s world. I am a non-fiction Believer. That means that God has already written my life story and I don’t want to change it by doing what I want, but follow it perfectly by His Word and Guidance. I will follow that plan alone. I will not make my own plans, but follow where He leads me.
I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and love Him as my Savior. I want to live wholly for Him and give my everything to Him.
I believe in Jesus Christ. That He is the Only Son of God. That He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father unless through Jesus Christ.
I believe Jesus Christ was beaten, crucified, and rose again in three days. I believe that He died for my sins, and washed them away. I believe that He is coming back for his people some day soon.
I believe that a marriage consists of a MAN and a WOMAN. I believe that the husband should be the head of the household and that all decisions lie ultimately with him. I believe that a woman should be a keeper of her home. I believe she does not need to get a job outside of her home and out of the authority of her husband.
I believe in a full quiver, and that God will give me the desires of my heart. I believe that the woman should stay home and raise her children in the LORD.
I am praying and waiting for God to bring the man of my dreams. I can’t wait to get married and have my own family. I am excited that I can be a stay at home mom and keep my home. I want to be a Homemaker and make my home to be a haven for my family to learn to be Biblical and Godly.
I hope to be an encouragement and teach Biblical things to all who stop by my blog and be encouraged and learn from others.
