a lazy kind of Sunday


Little O brought home a verbena plant from one of his zoo classes a few months ago. Despite the fact that verbena is on the "deer resistant" list, the deer in our neighborhood seem to have developed a taste for it. Every once in a while, we will find this little plant munched down to about 2 inches of bare stems. Somehow, the little verbena has managed to bloom another set of beautiful flowers before the deer have noticed its growth.


Astro A chose this cactus (bishop's hat, I believe) on one of our trips to Wildseed Farms. It is very photogenic. Don't you agree?


Astro A made a beautiful necklace of glass beads for me. I absolutely love it!





The boys worked together on a Color Wonder poster, while they listened to an audio CD of "Farmer Boy" by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Deer may not like verbena, but rabbits sure do! You may have a bunny that likes to dine out occasionally.

Aha! I didn't know that! We do have several bunnies who pass through our back yard periodically...

Thank you!
