Grapes, glorious grapes!

We got home just in time to start picking our muscadines. It's really unbelievable how many there are.

I'm going to make our first pie of the season tomorrow. If you've never had muscadine pie before, you a really missing out. It tastes similar to cherry pie. And the color of the filling is so beautiful. It's a stunning hot pink!!!

HS: A started his times tables today.
Also worked on adverbs & pronouns.

Our neighbor Ms. Helen, a master gardener, grows specific plants to attract certain critters, like butterflies, catapillars and birds. She has given us a couple of monarch butterfly catapillars to observe. As of tonight they have attached themselves to the top of the container lid. Next they will curl into a "J" shape and start to form the crysalis. Then we'll wait for our butterflies to emerge!!!! Keep ya posted.
