Sunday, May 24, 2009 - Weekly Wrap-up
From the Heart:
I'm a little tired today. We have enjoyed such a beautiful May! Sunshine can be rare and the summers are short here in Southeast Alaska. So when the sun shines you run full speed. As grateful as I am for this lovely weather, I will enjoy the rain that is coming this week as a chance to slow down. I have to admit I have missed the cloudy/rainy days a little.
On the Homefront:
Chris has a few days off before going to day shifts for the next two weeks. We are looking forward to that.
In the Schoolroom:
We have finished up Sonlight Core 2! We are still working on our study of animals. We are studying Mollusks. We went to the beach at low tide on Saturday to look for sea life and shells. We will continue our study of animals for at least two more weeks and we will go on to plants. Except for starting a read aloud, we will be taking a break from the rest of our school work and enjoying some time for field trips and work in our garden until mid July.
In the Literary Scene:
I am still working on The Real George Washington although very slowly.
From the Garden:
My plants are doing well for the most part. The seeds have not come up and I'm going to give them a few more days. If they don't come up this week, I may think about putting something else there. My strawberries in the pot and raised bed are doing well, but the ones in hanging baskets are not. I'm not sure what is going on. Everything else is going OK. My lettuce, cucumbers cabbage and herbs look good. I have all the berry bushes and a rubarb plant put in out back and my flowers and starts from Mara are all in the ground, pots or raised beds. I hope to have pictures in a week or two.
Just for Fun:
We had so much fun walking on the beach this week exploring all the life that is there. We are looking forward to going back several more time this week.

I've found that hanging baskets need a lot more water than pots or other in the ground plants... is that the problem?
Can't wait to see your pics.
