As part of a school project that I've asked my daughter Molly to complete this year is starting a blog. You can see the link at the side of this page entitled Molly's Place. I like to refer to it as her "On Line Journal" of her day to day happenings relating to school. She will be posting about different curriculum that she will be using, maybe some about what she learning, cooking, gardening, book reviews and photos. Pretty much you name it, hopefully she will be writing about it.
I've asked her to do this project in hopes that it will help in her writing abilities, conveying her thoughts and sentence structure. Plus, I think it will be a great way to look at what she will have accomplished in this school year.
I've made an outline of things that I want her to accomplish this year. I won't tell you about it, I'll let you take a look at her blog to see what she's up to.
I hope you enjoy my daughter's new blog--Whoo hoo!! :0)

Where have the last 5 months gone
It's hard to believe that I haven't posted an entry in such a long time. Things have been so very busy!! We, as a family, have started gardening. It has been a fun and rewarding experience. Lots of work, but oh the feeling of walking out and picking your own vegetables. It's a GREAT thing and yummy too!!! I took tons of photos that I might post at a later time.
Some of the veggies that we planted and harvested were: Tomatoes, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, hot peppers, banana peppers, peas, corn, okra, cucumbers, muskmelons and watermelons. It has been a learned experience for us all. One thing that we learned is that we don't need 200 watermelon plants. Although with having so many delicious watermelons that my two older sons planted and cared for we found ourselves with too many melons to eat. So my girls and I ventured out and made watermelon jelly this year. I have heard about it in the past but had never eaten any. It was fun to make and yummy to eat. Though next spring, I think we will plant fewer plants. :0)
