The snow crystals . . . come to us not only to rev

The snow crystals . . . come to us not only to reveal the wondrous beauty of the minute in Nature, but to teach us that all earthly beauty is transient and must soon fade way. But though the beauty of the snow is evanescent, like the beauties of the autumn, as of the evening sky, it fades but to come again. – Wilson Bentley ❄️

I can’t help myself. 🕵️

When it snows, I check the crystal shapes and if there’s a shot of getting good pictures, I brave the cold and set up my equipment. 🔬🖌️

These images were taken with @Homesciencetools Home 1000x LED Microscope on low power with a digital microscope camera which gives me a smaller field of view than the whole snowflake, but I love looking at snowflake centers! ❄️❄️

Did you know the hexagonal shape in the center can vary? I have lots of photographic proof! 📷

Right now microscopes are on sale for 10% off. Check out my link to learn how to capture snowflakes with your kids and teens! 🔬❄️

It is a good rule after reading a new book, never

It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself a new one till you have read an old one in between. - C.S. Lewis

My 15yo read all of Frank Baum's Oz books when he was very young. They are lovely and enchanting. 🧚

We thought it would be fun to revisit the first book this winter with this year's Boomerang title from @juliebravewriter. No regrets! 🥳

One of the key ingredients in the high school year

One of the key ingredients in the high school years in our homeschool is authentic engagement with something they love. 💙

We encourage our teens to look for ways to incorporate community connection into their goal seeking experiences. 🤩

It works. 👍

Not only do our teens meet their personal expectations with a goal, but they add to it a connection component that is so important.

Our daughter spent high school immersed in the world of fashion design. She arrived there at a young age and hit her stride in her teen years, designing for local runway shows and being chosen for a curated exhibit at our local library with industry professionals and local design students. 👗🧵

While pursuing design, she had this other thread running with #4H, being a student member of our Plant & Environmental Science programming committee. She served there five years helping to plan, teaching at workshops, and as a 4-Her, participating in horticulture contests at the local, state, and national levels and bringing home ribbons! 🌿🏅🎖

Rebecca adores wild plants and ecology! When she arrived at university, she knew she still wanted to study plants along with her fashion design. 😍

She's taken classes in forensic botany and natural plant dyes, worked to cultivate and harvest the department's dye garden, and she was chosen as the designer for a team working on a grant to reforest hemlock trees devastated by an invasive insect species. 🦟🌲

That grant work came full circle since she helped to plan a 4-H workshop on that insect species and the damage it's doing to the Eastern Hemlock. 🤩

Rebecca designed, patterned, and constructed a vest to fit on dogs to release seeds onto hillsides that are deforested of their hemlocks. Did you know hemlocks thrive on steep terrain? Her task was to create a pattern that dog owners could replicate and place on their dogs to let them romp and drop seeds where humans cannot go. 🐹🌿💙

Recently, I was talking with her about her work in high school and how it prepared her for the work she's doing now.

Her response? Unique opportunities in high school lead to unique opportunities in college. 💙

I could not agree more! 👇
