Japan, washed away in a moment of massive energy liberation due to the same. Take a pencil, bend from both ends. Watch… it will break. The earth is no different… but try to explain the shifting of chunks of ground, pressing against each other to the point where they start to bend and eventually break, […]

Patterns In Nature: A Wasp's Creativity
We are using this (below) as inspiration to explore the patterns found in, and created by nature. Lily will generate her own something (yet to discover what she intends to create), and we’ll see what she uses to make whatever pattern she decides upon. Lily’s perception of the following images, consecutively, are: Spider Web Honey […]
Is it a Paper Wasp, Hornet, or Something Else??
We found this nest in the garage, inside a cabinet. How long it was there before we located it, I have no idea… but it was interesting to dissect. We learned about the difference between hornets, wasps in general, what a Paper Wasp is and how it is actually quite beneficial, sand wasps, […]

What Do You Wanna Be When You Grow Up?
Taking this from a FB posting… Thierry says to Ray: I have read your comments on someone else’s wall about graphing calculators. I am of a “in between” generation: I have never had a slide rule–too young–and never had a graphing calculator–too old. That being said, I am a geek, and thought at some point […]
All About October 18
Lily graced us with the privilege of sharing her memories of both the day she joined us on the outside, and while still inside. She shared many of her memories with me, just me, about 6 months ago. I wrote in detail then what she spoke, as I will now. To date, Lily has seen […]
Singling Bowls
That’s what she thinks it is, anyway. Got this today for $.25 (yes, that was twenty-five cents) at the local thrift! Woohoo! Anyone care to take a gander at the amount of learning, discovery, and development is going on here? Lily has learned to click it, whack it with the mallet, and is trying to […]
Flinging Planetary Rings – They Make Great Boomerangs!
We watched a Zula today on the planets and their rings. So, rings are made of ice, dust, and rock… “Mom? Why are the rings stuck around the planet like that? Why don’t the rings orbit on their own? Cecily comprehends gravity well. She also understands the relationship between orbits and gravity, as well as […]
Tree Climbing Freedom
Lily discovered this week that she can, without assistance, climb the tree in our front yard. What sort of tree is it? Well, it looks like an Evergreen with dreads. I haven’t a clue.. but it’s fun and has lots of low branches. Some images of then and now, along with some pics of her […]
