Blogging Through the Alphabet - The Letter L

When I think of L, this time of year, I think of flowers (predominantly lilies): Lily of the Valley, day lily, and tiger lily. Only my Lily of the Valley has bloomed so far.


Then there are the lizards we met last month in Arizona.

 What can YOU think of that starts with "L"?

Christianity Cove - A TOS Crew Review

In April the TOS Homeschool Review Crew learned that we would have the opportunity to receive a product from Christianity Cove to review. 

My son has experienced some bullying, so I was intrigued by a title called Bullying and the Bible. I was asked if I had a second choice, so I also put down the title Freedom Ride. I was really surprised when I received both Bullying and the Bible AND a copy of Freedom Ride! So I will be reviewing both. I will review Bullying and the Bible first.

Menu Monday

Here is my (carnivore/vegan blend) menu plan for the week.

Sunday:

Church picnic (each family brings food just for their family--we got subs from Subway. Did you know they have a veggie patty sub now?)

Monday:
Boy Scout Court of Honor Picnic - I'm taking Speedy International Stew and blue corn chips.

Tuesday:
Salsa Soup, salad, chips

Wednesday:
Barbecued chicken, corn on the cob, broccoli (leftover vegan food)

Thursday:
Hamburger/baked bean casserole, salad (vegan crumblies and no bacon in my part)

Friday:
Salmon, yams, spinach (the vegan is happy with yams and spinach)

Saturday:
Lasagne, salad, Texas toast (trying for vegan lasagne, but cannot find whole wheat or brown rice noodles this week...)

What's for dinner at your house this week?

Nature Study; Boy Scouts 2nd Class Requirements

So yesterday we did a nature study that was prompted by a Boy Scout requirement for 2nd Class Rank: Identify ten native species plants that grow in your area.  Today I went back and took photographs, since we didn't think of that yesterday. I didn't get a sycamore leaf; maybe I'll come back later and insert it. 

I also add additional plants that JD either knows, or that I figure he should know so I am posting them here to remind myself to help him become familiar with them. How many of these plants and trees can you identify? If you want me to come back later and identify them for you, post a comment.

See the Light: Tiffany - A Schoolhouse Crew Review

In April I was delighted to be selected to receive an art lesson DVD from See the Light to review.

See the Light offers a wide variety of DVDs that teach art. There was a large selection offered to the Schoolhouse Review Crew to choose from. I received a DVD called Tiffany Window.
