Tea Cups in the Garden

• Jul. 14, 2008 - Guess what arrived today?

The UPS man left this on our doorstep. We couldn't wait to open this huge box...

I had a sneaky suspicion as to what it contained...

Yep, figures! Just what we wanted to see right after lunch.

On this side you can make out the earthworm and crayfish specimens. On the other side you can see the perch. The frog is in the middle.

The dissecting kit, tray, slide kit...

...and a collegiate level microscope! We had to check it out immediately!

We looked at protozoa, euglena, paramecium, planaria, hydra, and leif vein cross-section. Boy did that bring back memories of high school and college!

All this for dd's 9th grade Apologia's Exploring Creation with Biology! Stay tuned!

we have opted to do virtual disections and only one physical disection. I just don't have the stomach for it. Never did. Good luck.

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
