We are really enjoying the Thornton Burgess books this year!  So far we have read Bowser the Hound, Old Mother West Wind, and The Tales of Danny Meadow Mouse.  He does such a fabulous job of weaving facts about the animals natural habitat and such throughout the stories.  You could do an entire unit study easily.  The character lessons are great, too!

We just love nature study!  We get quite a bit of it here.  Just a few weeks ago the children watched as I helped deliver the second goat kid from a birth of triplets!  (for the whole story, visit www.homesteadblogger.com/fromfieldsandgardens)  We have reared baby chicks and nursed wounded animals.  The greatest adventure is our veggie garden.  Every family needs to plant a garden!  Our sunflower patch is currently home to several lovely song birds.  Gabi has named some of them.  One chirpy yellow finch she calls "Gum Ball".
