This afternoon, my dad and brother Ethan left for a state-wide Boy Scout event. As I waited on the front porch while they made some last minute additions, I decided to practice my photography skills. This picture is of our flourishing rose bush. The blossoms are gorgeous and absolutely humongous. Too bad the plant itself can be so dangerous sometimes.

On this co-op day, we performed a science experiment about how sound waves travel in different substances. Two spoons were tied in the middle of a string so that they can clang together easily. Then, the silverware, the students, and their ears underwent a series of stages where we had to listen to the different tones of the ringing spoons under different conditions. I won't go into details, but one of these stages was to submerge our ears into a bucketful of water and listen to the also-submerged spoons tinkling. We were not looking forward to this part and kept the towels nearby. 
What was not expected, however, was the temperature of the water. Do you know how shocking putting your tender and vulnerable ear under cold water can be?

Yesterday, a friend came over for a sleepover/play day. However, today turned out to be a workday instead. The reason? Ethan is still working on his Eagle Project, and his troop came to help him. Us women were in charge of lunch, and then my mother decided that we would assist the boys with our additional manual labor. I wasn't too thrilled about this decision, but the refreshments were a treat. After all, it's not everyday that one gets to have soda and Safeway donuts on the same day!
The girl on the left is my friend, Jenny (from co-op). I'm on the right, and my dad is in the middle. What we're doing is patting down the loose gravel so it makes a firm and even pathway.

One of my most favorite dishes in the whole wide world is chicken pot pie. And guess what my family had for dinner tonight?
As one sees.....we really like chicken pot pie.

Today I 'helped' Mom weed our backyard garden, getting it ready for some late springtime planting. Below are some of the highlight pictures I took. (By the way,if you're wondering, as well, I do not know what kind of flowers these are.)
