Yesterday we braved the rainy weather and headed over to the National Colonial Farm. They were having a "green" homeschool day. There the kids learned a little about recycling, planting native trees, grasses, and flowers, and worm composting.

Unfortunately, the sky opened up before we were able to get to the far end of the farm. That's the one place they all wanted to go. At the far end are some old mulberry trees that they remember climbing and harvesting berries from. Since we just planted a mulberry tree in our backyard, they were very excited to go see these old trees again to help them imagine what our tree might look like someday. I could be wrong, but I don't think the mulberries are quite ready yet. So maybe it is just as well that we didn't see them yesterday. We will plan to go back sometime in the next couple of weeks (maybe with Daddy) on a sunny day to really explore the farm again and visit those wonderful old mulberry trees.
