Lincoln Boyhood National Park Homeschool Field Trip

Here are a few pics from one of the latest field trips we ventured out on. The site is in Indiana known as the Lincoln Boyhood National Park.

Leaves are falling

It's Sept already and the leaves are starting to fall. Cool 50's tonight with a slight drizzle of rain. I had to turn on my heater on the way home tonight. We had pizza and chocolate chip cookies for supper tonight. (kids favorite) Have to finish up the homeschooling for the day so back to school we go. Yes Homeschoolers do have homework after hours too!

Back to the Blog Scene

Wow has it really been that long since I have blogged? Yes it has. Very troublesome times has hit and passed. Hopefully now the road can be straight and everyone can get back on track with reality. I have been through so much since the last blog entry and lost my account information that I could not even log in. Finally got my account back so now you will be seeing more posts from me. This year has went so fast and fall is almost here. Let's hope and pray for the best for the rest of the year for my family and yours!

Indiana Floods 2011

Rain and thunderstorms continue to hit the southern Indiana region this week. School is on a 2 hour delay today due to flooding and road closures. I have not seen this many roads closed in southern Indiana ever. More storms are on the way so we have not even seen the worst of it yet. Guess it's not so bad if you were a duck!

Indiana Mushrooms are Here

This year has been quite a blessing when it comes to morel mushrooms. I was walking around the house the other day and what do you think was standing right by my house, yes a white tasty morel mushroom. Never have I found an edible mushroom in my yard until this year. We have found them by the bags full and the local buyer quit buying them because they are so plentiful in southern Indiana. If you have not been mushroom hunting yet, now is the time to go. It wont be long and they will be gone for the year. The only drawback are the ticks. Be sure to wear some kind of repellent. They are awful this year. I picked 103 ticks off the little one after one mushroom hunting trip so we learned our lesson the hard way. They don't like vinegar and garlic so be sure to put it all over you!

Camping Season Begins

Warm weather pushed in with the opening of Spring Break and the camping fever set in. We took advantage of the 70 degree weather and took a hike out on the KT. Better known as the Knobstone Trail. After a brief hike and loaded down with camping gear we set up for camp as we watched the wildlife and enjoyed the forest. We met a group of hikers pressing on through the woods as they enjoyed the KT also. This is just the beginning of a great year as long as the weather holds out.
