This week E went to Tennessee with a friend’s family.  She had a wonderful time camping.  Here’s the cabin and it’s view.

While on the trip, E and her friend had the opportunity to spend the day in Nashville.  They had lunch at an aquarium themed restaurant…

and then a visit to the zoo!

       

E wasn’t the only one to get an up-close look at animals this week.  J and Z went to the library for Animal Tales, a live animal, “edZOOcational” program.  Z was picked to assist the handler with the African Spurred Tortoise.After the program, Z was invited to pet a Woma Python!

At home this week, we have enjoyed these last days of spring observing the daily changes out in our yard.  Our keyhole garden science project is growing like crazy!  This week we picked the first Hungarian Pepper.  The Jalopinos are ready to pick, too!  It’s time to be thinking about adding fried green tomatoes to our menu.

 

Our Zinnias have blooms and we have our first Pansie.

  Our Magnolia Tree is blooming too!  It smells so good.  I brought a couple of petals in to use as air freshener.  (Our bathroom smells good, too.)
