I am confident in my ability to teach my children to hunt for their own food. We need to give them the resources and fill their sponge like brains with the knowledge of how to grow and raise your own food and eat and live off of the land. In Todays outdoor classroom Anthony is doing some target practice. Because we crawl, before we walk, before we run. Hunting requires lots of Practice and lots of Patience. I'd say he's learning and getting better at both.

Bats?! Why on earth would I want to put a bat house on my property and attract these flying mammals to my home? I’ve seen Dracula. I got NO interest in attracting blood sucking bats to my home! You’ve got to be crazy…Bats are scary. Bats are aggressive. Bats will suck your blood!

Wait... NONE of that is true. At all, not even a little bit, Whatsoever.

In fact, the only bats that drink or lap up blood can be found in a few select areas of Central and South America

All the bats in the United States? They tend to eat bugs, mosquitoes, and fruits. No bloods. No humans. Still, why would you want these creatures around all the time? Well, there’s a few good reasons.

I love this spot!! Today I made more underwater arrangements. The fish are loving the new spots to hide! The fish pond was intended for the kids but I am in love with how it turned out!

Busy day of Digging Holes. All the trees are in out front and I managed to dig up a few more in other places to make a nice long row!! Now we wait and watch it grow!

This week I started putting in the trees by the road. The previous homeowners had 6 HUGE potted "pine-like" but not all the same species trees. They had seriously outgrown the pots and just kept falling over. These holes had to be about 2 1/2 feet deep by about 3 ft wide to make sure I had them big enough for all these crazy roots to expand. It was a lot of digging. I was able to get the largest 3 in the ground. The next 3 are much smaller so they should not take as much time. I can't wait to see it done and watch it grow!!
