Spring Planting


Once a month for the past four or so, John and I have gotten together with other home school fathers and sons to spend the afternoon together and learn something.

This afternoon we planted vegetable seeds to sprout and later transplant. First we learned about basic garden tools and how to take care of them. (Remember this is a group of guys.) Then we planted the seeds. Finally it was time for cookies and a little bocce ball in the backyard. This has been a great group of sons and fathers.

Earlier this year we hosted a session. Since it was cold we choose an indoor skill, electricity. After a short course in safety (!) each father and son teamed up to replace an outlet in our living room and foyer. Everyone learned some practical knowledge and we got new outlets. Overall, not a bad bargain.
