Our veggies are still growing though I despair a little for
the carrots unless I transplant them into the garden, but the time is coming for
that. We usually plant the garden around Memorial Day weekend, after the worst
of the rain is over so there aren’t big swampy puddles.
We recently got some turkey chicks which are enjoying the
heat lamp right now.
One of the easiest things to do with my daughter, honestly,
is cook. Occasionally she doesn’t want to, but it’s pretty rare. This past week
I had her make three big salads with tuna for lunch. Of course, doing things this
way takes longer and requires supervision, which is why it doesn’t happen all
the time.
And I’ve gotten her to draw a couple pictures in the past
week. I am apparently a radish and Dad wears a cap made out of a raspberry
filled macaron.
She isn’t big on reading by herself, 20 minutes a day is
usually the most I can get out of her, but she loves some of the kids anime
shows, so I bought her the first three books in the Sailor Moon series for her
birthday recently and she loved them! We’ve ordered more and I’m hoping I can
parlay that into an interest in learning Japanese via our Mango Languages
database from the library.
Speaking of which, you do know that our library, and most
libraries I know of, make a number of databases available for free with your library
card, right? The Southeast Steuben County Library list is on their web site at https://www.ssclibrary.org/research/online-resources/
It’s a great resource for kids needing to do a final report
or any kind of research.
And did you know that in New York State you can get a
library card for the HUGE database of ebooks, movies, and music available from
the New York Public Library? It’s called SimplyE. You fill out the online form
and you’ve instantly got access. https://www.nypl.org/books-music-movies/ebookcentral/simplye
