Good Morning!It's a beautiful morning. Have at the coffee it's fresh. They're still hedging their bets on the possible Nor'easter for Wednesday.
very true!
The entire feeding and watering of plants and animals is a huge learning opportunity.

yep! Lots of ways to learn!It is! My 5-year-old has a couple of Asiatic lilies she's trying to get established in the garden, and I've been impressed at her conscientiousness in checking on them daily. Last month we got each of the kids (5, 7 and 9) two pullet chicks with the idea that they can raise them and sell eggs and start figuring out small-scale economics. I do have to remind them sometimes, but once reminded they do a great job at checking on and taking care of the chicks. I've encouraged them to consider saving their future egg money to invest in something else that will bring in more money, and I'm interested to see what they come up with and I love that we can say yes to any reasonable ideas they have. Before moving out here, the most real responsibility any of them got was a hamster. Not much opportunity for profit in that.
Ahem... I'll climb down off my soapbox and go get myself some tea.
