Along the Ridge Trail

Categories: Homeschool and spring

We took a walk at the Montshire Museum of Science this morning. We’re members there and we love it!

Above: fiddleheads. Below: noodleheads.

Above: I need to look up this flower. Below: the boardwalk of the vernal pool.

Above: Gannon trying to catch mosquito larvae. Below: reflections on the surface of the pool. A vernal pool is one that dries up after spring is over. During springtime, it is home to breeding frogs and salamanders (and mosquitoes).

Above: was this hemlock chewed by deer, porcupine, or something else? It wasn’t Acadia; this much I know. Below: kids not getting along. Boy taunting sister. Sister wanting to leave a space for Mommy, boy scooting over to sit in that space.

Above: bloodroot. If you pick it, the stem oozes red-orange stuff.

Fun pictures! I MISS The Montshire. It’s such a bummer that they did away with their good family plan.

RUNNING HOME

My blog. Herein read entries related to who and what is important to me. Feel free to leave comments. I feel free to delete them if I don't like them. So there. By reading about my life, readers should expect to begin to see their own lives as increasingly more organized and sophisticated, their homes cleaner and neater.

Why This Blog?

Well, mostly this is for my family to see pictures and read anecdotes about the kids. It's also a venue for telling the story of my struggles and victories in my life as a Christian, a wife, a mother, and a teacher. Occasionally I toss in some weird or touching item that I've found.

What’s Christianity All About?

The Gospel is the news that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over all his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy. [as said by John Piper]
