Because one blog is never enough...

I've decided to start another!

I got the idea for this blog after reading this article regarding the 100-species challenge. I thought it would make for a great homeschooling/life experience project, and, so far, the kids are thrilled with everything we've learned! And, although the original challenge pertains to plants, our family will be including animals, as well, because they are the boys' main interest right now. It is my goal to identify 100 plant species AND 100 animal species on our 11 acres. This will be an ongoing project, with no definite ending point. We will attempt to photograph each species and post with latin and common names.

Learn along with us!

Stay tuned,
Kris

You are so creative! We found a pink worm caterpillar thing crawling on our patio. I think your first plant looks like teaberry that grows abundantly in this area.
