Maggie has just finished reading this book. She has really enjoyed the stories, even though I had to prod her into getting started with them initially. I found her some games and word searches, vocabulary and comprehension tests for her to take tomorrow. Then she will start reading Farmer Boy. It should be fun because there are a bunch of recipes for making natural dyes and I'm sure we will have fun playing with those. We were going to see Little House the musical, but the reviews weren't favorable, so we decided to skip it.
Maggie has been doing a science experiment with her fish. She was feeding them each day and tapping the sides of the glass. Now when she taps the glass the fish rise to the top, even when there is no food. They have been conditioned, just like Pavlov's dog.
Maggie planted some flowers out front and has been helping me harvest blackberries from our field. We hope to have enough to make one pie. They got ripe this week, but I haven't been able to pick them. I'm afraid they will over ripen and be done before we get them picked. And it's supposed to storm the next couple days. Hopefully tomorrow evening we can get over there and get them picked.
