Agate Hunt



The water was up a bit, so we had to crawl to get to our "secret spot." 


Mary Em found this one right away.

Margaret is a sifter


Fire!

Barges, I would like to go with you!




Even that turtles were enjoying the sun!
                               
                                 Some of the finds of the day. Somehow the fossils didn't make the photo.

Horseback Riding


Some of the home educators in our town visited a local horse stable.








 This horse has a freeze brand.  




Checking out his teeth and learning where the bit goes.

A snack!

Kitchen of Love



Margaret loves sushi!


This is, without doubt, the best French Onion Soup on the planet. 
Caramelize sweet onions with a bit of sugar and fresh garlic
add a liberal amount of paprika and a touch of flour
deglaze with loads of red wine
beef base
worcester sauce
water
serve with great bread and baby swiss
Easy and yummo



Popcorn popped in coconut oil and topped with flax seed oil and nutritional yeast. 



My first Pad Thai. SO GOOD! 


Bacon cheeseburger pizza. Always a hit with the youngsters.


Spinach, mushroom, tomato, smoked gouda omelette.


Russell Sprouts alamanda. Balsamic vinegar with caramelized onions and bacon.

Chicken in a spinach/vodka cream.
