There’s a monarch on our milkweed.

There’s a monarch on our milkweed!

You know how happy that makes me, right?

Here she is (not on the milkweed):

Beautiful photo! Very funny post. 🙂 We still see a monarch or two around here, even though it is winter.

I get so excited about butterflies! Yesterday we brought a swallowtail caterpillar in the house. He is in a jar with parsley. The girls call him Tiger, and are checking on him regularly. Enjoy!

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
