Teacups in the Garden

• Aug. 11, 2009 - Year 3 Unit 1 Movies

Amazingly a lot of TOG moms are anxiously, yet patiently, awaiting my movie list for year 3. =) These are the ones we have on hand and have enjoyed. Future in-depth posts are pending on a few, which will be marked and updated.

Jefferson and Adams: A Stage Play...extended blog post pending...stay tuned!

Swiss Family Robinson

Pride and Prejudice (with Keira Knightley)...extended blog post pending...stay tuned!

Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth)...extended blog post pending...stay tuned!

Sense and Sensibility (with Emma Thompson)...extended blog post pending...stay tuned!

Persuasion...extended blog post pending...stay tuned!

Amazing Grace...official web site with loads of information! Excellent movie!

Zebulon Pike and the Blue Mountain...This is a documentary and primarily interested my kids because we have been to the top of Pikes Peak, the Blue Mountain! I wrote about our studies on it and this documentary here.

I am aware of some History channel episodes on Napoleon, portrayed by one of the reenactors from Colonial Williamsburg. This is an excellent actor who is also a historian, and he knows his characters forwards and backwards. I have no idea how to locate these episodes. If you stumble upon them, I trust that they will be great. In the meantime, you can see Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon in discussion at Poplar Forest, which was extremely interesting during our Napoleonic studies!

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.
