Yoohoo!

I am so happy. Today I checked on the silkworm eggs from last year and guess what I found, desperately looking for something to eat. Yes. A silkworm.

Meet Humperdink, the first silkworm to hatch.

Humperdink is that little black, wiggley looking line at the tip of the leaf.

I will be updating periodically, so keep your eyes peeled...

Happy spring, everyone!

Today is the first day of spring. To celebrate I thought I would post some pieces of music that I like and also have the word 'spring' in their title. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

There were three more but I couldn't find them on Grooveshark. If, however you want to listen to them you will find all three on Youtube.

Here are the titles:

The First of Spring - Acker Bilk
Spring Song - Halfdan Kjerulf
Spring - Brian Crain

Pi!

Hi, blog followers from all over the world! This day is unique, like all others, I suppose. But today is the day that the first numbers of Pi coincide -  if, of course, you write the date the American way...

E.g.     3 - 14 - 15

Then at 09:26 and 53 seconds this morning it was:

3 - 14 - 15 - 926 - 53

Here you have the first ten digits if the number PI.

This doesn't happen very often. In fact, just once a century. To celebrate, I am going to try and make a lemon meringue PI. My daughter informed me that she was already busy with a PI pizza for their lunch!

I hope you all have the freakiest day possible.

Another quote...

A poem I found...

...whilst sorting out our homeschooling material. This was first to be copied, then to be learnt. I remember it well. It was part of a project about snails that one of my boys did one spring.

THE SNAIL

Where he goes he leaves a trail

When he goes where he shouldn't be

His trail is there for all to see.

Our life is like the little snail,

Where we go we leave a trail.

The things we do and the things we say,

Are the trail we leave from day to day.
