The Barnyard Edition
1. Dominic and the Frog Toad
I scooped this frog out of our front pond. Swimming is a favorite past time of theirs but, once they jump in, they can't get back out due to the lip on the pond liner. Normally, Dominic is terrified of their unpredictable jumping. Hmm, Quinton has informed me that it is a Western Toad. Oops.
2. The House Finch
This poor finch was found at the feet of our Marian statue. The kids were fascinated by his perfectly preserved body as they had only seen them from afar and in quick flight. Once everyone had carefully held it and sadly exclaimed over it's perfection, Collette ran to look it up in our big animal book. Identity: House Finch. He was then solemnly buried by St. Francis under the shady oaks. Natural nature study.
3. Flowers on the Front Porch
4. Xavier and the Puppy (video coming soon)
5. My Boys and the Chickens
Can you tell that our chickens are quite tame? I think Little Red was going to come along on our walk!
6. Literature in the Oaks
When the big kids have wandered off and seemingly disappeared, it is best to look up.
7. Evening Walk on the Ranch
