At Home in Georgia

My Little Garden...

I did take pictures, but haven't had time to post them.  But sad news, we had a hard freeze last weekend, and I lost my peppers and some transplanted things.  My broccoli, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and cabbage did fine, but even covering everything couldn't save it all.  I heard from more expert gardeners that planting before April 1 or even April 15 is pretty risky.  So I"m happy to have my broccoli and peas doing as well as they are.  I replanted carrots, some peas, and started some beans today.  I like the idea of staggering the planting for a steady crop through the summer.  I also planted moss roses and phlox inside, and all the moss roses have come up and ONE phlox (must have had a crummy batch of seeds). 

My mom is here from KY for the week, and we have been having lots of fun and doing pretty much nothing as far as school, housework, or anything like that.  We went to Stone Mountain one day, had a big shopping day, and today just kind of took it easy.  Monday, we leave for KY to take her home and to visit with her and my dad (who had to return for work) for a few more days.  We have been discussing life with children and homeschooling and planning and organizing.  She has such great ideas, and it's so nice to have someone actually BE around us to see how things go and give advice that is so personalized to US.  I realize how blessed I am to have been homeschooled for a while... not only do I know what it's like to BE homeschooled, I can get help and advice from my own mom as a seasoned homeschool mom looking back.  Can't beat that!

I have a brother who lives in Ga and the last time I visited we drove up north and went to Stone Mt. I loved it. It's a little pricey but I still had a wonderful time. I enjoyed the little 3-D movie, that was a blast and the lazor show was so good.......cant wait to go back........... Kitty
