We've had a nice couple of days again, so we've spent some time outdoors. We read about pollination in Exploring Creation with Botany. My 8 yo daughter made her notebook page outside.
Here she is working on her page.
And her completed page.
She used a page from the Basic-plus set of Notebooking Pages from Notebookingpages.com. I was really proud of the job that she did.
My older son much prefers making his notebook pages on the computer. He's a terrific artist, but he prefers typing to writing so much that he doesn't like to do notebooking on paper. So, for the most part, I let him use the computer.
10 year old ds notebook page
I trimmed my lavender plant (a lot) and have lots of lavender drying in the attic. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it all. I might use it in a wreath if it dries well. DD wants to put some in soap. I'm not sure what I need to do with it first to use in soap. I have the Your Backyard Herb Garden. I need to check out what to do with dried lavender leaves in there.
Then I cranked up the Mantis tiller (well, I can't crank it, I had to wait for dh) and tilled up a little patch for spinach. This is quite an experiment for me. I've not had great success with gardening in the past, but I really want to try it again. We have tomato and pepper plants that we're growing from seed in the light hut. So far one tomato plant has sprouted.
