Sophie and Sadie are off to the county fair – and I’m not surprised that they found the pie contest, but I am a little concerned that they are going to get in trouble for eating the pies! What’s your favorite flavor of pie? Did you know that in the 1600’s eating pies was against the law in England because people enjoyed it too much!?

Aren’t sunflowers so happy – it’s like they should have a big smile in the middle of the flower! So many fun things to know about sunflowers – they give us and the birds yummy seeds to eat and also oil to use. And after you take the seeds out you can use the head of the sunflower as a scrubby brush! They grow straight and tall – the tallest sunflower was the size of a 3 story house! – […]

There are so many interesting things to learn about Monarch butterflies! Did you know they can fly up to 2,000 miles to spend the winter in Mexico? They can even fly all the way across the Atlantic ocean! But when it comes time to lay their eggs, they fly to North America and look for Milkweed plants. The caterpillars (before they turn into butterflies) can eat a whole leaf off the Milkweed plant in less than 4 minutes! Click on […]

Looks like Sophie and Sadie are having some fun riding around on the tractor! The word tractor comes from the Latin word ‘to pull!’ I guess that makes sense. Usually tractors are carrying bigger things than a little girl cactus! Can you imagine a tractor that is so big it has 12 tires – and the tires are as big as a grown up person!? Crazy!

I know that it’s summer when I see lemonade stands popping up! I don’t know about where you live, but where we live it’s really hot and lemonade is the perfect drink to cool down. There is evidence that people were drinking lemonade in Egypt a long time ago (1500 years ago!) – which I can understand…it’s really hot there! I’m wondering if Sadie is going to drink all of the lemonade! Click on the image below, or click here, to open […]

All seeds are ready to come to life – they just need water! They don’t even need dirt to start off with. Sometimes we plant seeds directly into the ground – and sometimes we start them off in a little bit of dirt until they have sprouted into a seedling and are strong enough to grow on their own in the garden. Once the seed has started to grow – with a little stem and maybe some baby leaves – we […]

Making a garden can be hard work! Today Sophie is adding dirt to the raised bed that she and Sadie built. We usually think of dirt as….dirty. And it can be dirty! But it is also full of healthy, living organisms and worms and bugs – and it even cleans water by taking out any bad things!

Sophie and Sadie are building something called a raised bed for the plants. Putting seeds or plants in the ground and covering them with the dirt is a little bit like putting them in bed! Sadie is using a hammer to push the nail that Sophie is holding into the wood to keep the pieces together.

Artists connected to an art movement called Art Nouveau believed that even things that we use every day like windows and lamps and houses should be beautiful works of art. Louis Comfort Tiffany (his father owned the famous jewelry store) was famous for using pieces of different colored glass all glued together to make windows and lamps look like paintings. He used glass that was colored so you couldn’t see through it but the sun light (or the light bulb) […]
