This morning and early afternoon was beautiful and sunny - a perfect day to begin cleaning up the yard. We need to get our garden back together after allowing it to rest for a year, and clean up all the winter damage that has accumulated over the months.
First step: clean up all the pine cones!
It was a big task for my young ones, everyone got a bag and filled it up with pine cones on the paths. Once they were cleared, the yard looked way better!
Cherry Blossoms!
It's a happy/sad occasion - happy to see the beautiful flowers on our fruit tree, but sad they're showing up so early. Frost date is still a month away and their is a high chance we'll have some cold days ahead. IF it gets too cold, the blossoms could freeze and we'll have no summer cherries... but we'll have to wait and see!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Your kids are very cute and help you a lot to get things done. You're training your kids a lot better it's a lot better for their future.
Yup, that's the plan. Someday I want them to do the things they do because they decide to themselves, but for now we sort of train them around. That will change with time and determination.
Wonderful 👍😊
Thank you!

Speaking of trees, I came across this recently and I think it would make a facinating little lesson for the kids to talk about. As any parent, I expect you to take your own viewing first. There is a small little one word censor in it, but I don't think it's a deal breaker.
Cool, thanks for the vid!
That is alot of pine cones. You guys do so many fun family projects and activities. What will you do with all of the pine cones?

We dump it on our landcaping where we want to acidify the ground. They break down into dirt eventually!
