It has been awhile..

It has been awhile since posting. Life has been a little hectic getting back into routine. Added to that I fought with a humdinger of a head cold for the majority of last week. The kids fought and continue to fight with it but seem to be holding their ground a little better than me. We have been studying the abolition of the slave trade in history so the Inauguration today made our history lesson a bit more current. It is always so fun to be able to tie things together and see the questions and amazement in the kids eyes when they have a better understanding of something because of an activity we do or see. So today made for great History!

We finally visited our garden today and had quite a harvest waiting for us. The cauliflower was huge, along with brocolli, green beans and banana peppers. I am eagerly awaiting the ripening of the hundreds of grape tomatoes on our plants. They are my favorite. Of course during our absence from the garden, the weeds also went crazy. They were waiting for us as well. We were not ecstatic to see them but put them off until next week due to the frigid 50 degree temperature. Florida natives just don't do well in the 50s.

I am hoping to get back on track. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and I hope to update again soon. Until then...
