Looking for food

We are down to 2 hens. They know where their food comes from!

Farmer Jay's Homeschool Class

There was a homeschool class on Organic Farming taught by Farmer Jay. It was a good discussion of plants.  We were trying out a homeschooling group, and while I like them, they are based out of Broward, and a lot of their activities are south of us and generally a bit far. There are a fair number of homeschool groups around here, but a fair percentage are Christian, which doesn't appeal to me.

Ladybug visiting the class!

Jellyfish

We went to the beach, and normally it's a lovely place, but there were moon jellyfish and someone got stung. The stuffy is to remind us what happened. And while the last few weeks there have been a lot of jellies in the water, today wasn't the case. But it only takes one little one to make a big impact. 

Too many Roos and a little chick!

We have 4 roosters. That's 4 too many, since we do live in town. They are beautiful birds, but way too noisy.

Here's my little chick doing her vietnamese workbook. The bottom third is handwriting practice.

Girl Scout Campfire

The Girl Scouts in S. Florida sponsored a campfire that we went to at Camp Telogia. Unfortunately it was a rather rainy day(typical for summer here!), so the fire didn't go so well. They wanted to make sure the girls got a chance to make smores, so we had a small fire in a pan, and once that was done, there were songs and activities inside the main cabin. 

Ocmulgee National Monument

Ocmulgee National Monument: I didn't do any prior research on this park and was very pleasantly surprised to see something totally different from all the other parks we've been to on the east coast. This is a prehistorical site with artifacts from 9000BC... And the main building is pretty cool architecturally too. It was another hot day in GA though. 

There is an entrance to the mound on the left.

More Atlanta area National Parks

We went to two outdoor parks today : Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield and Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. It was a very hot day , over 100, and we mostly stayed in the visitor center at Kennesaw and did the JR program inside. At Chattahoochee we went in the deliciously cool water.

Canadian Geese rarely make it to S. Florida
