The highest praise

Got the best compliment of my gardening life yesterday. Our neighbor across the street said, “When your poppies faded I thought the show was over. But no. Every day it’s wave after wave of—” (gestures admiringly) “—THIS. Makes me want to puke.”

Those peachy echinatias (sp) cooperate so well with the purple whatevers. Lovely!

  That combo has been one of my favorite things about this year! Quite accidental. The purple flowers are asters & this is their first time blooming. 🙂

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.
