More articles from back home....Julie Ridley

And some articles by a wonderful friend of mine that sadly I am no longer in touch with - she was my role model when I first started as a homeschooler/ unschooler and I really looked up to her - spent many many wonderful days at her house with her amazing family...she got me interested in astrology and La Leche League too!!! :)

I believe Julie Ridley eventually ended up Chairing Education Otherwise and campaigning for home education rights in the UK!! Well done Julie!!! :) She runs home birthing support groups over there too :)

I wrote this article when I was homeschooling my three oldest children in the UK. My Son should have started school three weeks after his 4th birthday in England, where children start much earlier than here in Canada.

Still frozen...





The beaver pond by the campground at Astotin Lake is still frozen, but one of the beavers was out sunning himself on the lodge this afternoon. He lifted his head to say hi to Susie but by the time I had my camera ready he had gone back to sleep...so you can only make out the furry bump amidst the sticks I'm afraid.....

I altered the colour/ exposure of the beaver lodge piccy because the exposure was so bad.

A sign of Springtime



Catkins...a sign of Spring.....

We took a drive out to Elk Island Park this afternoon and I just HAD to take a picture of these Pussywillow by the beaver ponds.

For Charlynn...


This is a picture of me eating my toe nails.....for Charlynn....

And no I don't eat my toe nails...but I could if I wanted to :) lol....Mmmm yummy!

Little guest!








Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.

All except one,
And that's little Ann,
For she crept under
The frying pan.

We had a little visitor to our house this afternoon...our first Ladybug of the season.....its now enjoying the sunshine in the jungle that is our dining table :)
