Today Abby enjoyed drawing with chalk, like the illustrations in Climbing Kansas Mountains.





I thought you might like to see a couple of photos of the garden, which has been keeping us very busy. We've been shelling a lot of peas and butterbeans (but didn't take time to make pictures). We're thinking about canning some salsa, if I have time to hunt a recipe. And aren't Rachel's sunflowers pretty?

It's been very busy here!

This week, Abby and I are rowing Climbing Kansas Mountains. She made whole wheat bread dough and shaped it into a turtle (in case you can't tell what it is!). We're reading Little House on the Prairie, too, and enjoyed learning all about Kansas today.
