Well, at least it caught your attention. :)
Today, we went to our first Nature Class at the Clemson Extension. Unfortunately, today was the last day of class for this school year. :( A friend of mine has been asking if we could go for awhile now, but we have not been able to attend for one reason or another. The class and teacher were as great as she has been saying. I will definitely go next year.
So, you are thinking, "What about cabbage?" Am I right? Probably (or you just completely forgot about it). Today at the Nature Class was Cabbage Chemistry (or Garden Chemistry). I have to admit Jesse kind of had an "up" on this one, because two weeks ago in chemistry she did a very similar experiment. Ms. Chanda made a purple liquid by boiling red cabbage. They each had a cup of the liquid and started adding things to it to see what would happened. It became acidic then basic and later they did another experiment to neutralize another mixture. The girls had a lot of fun and Jesse was happy she knew most of the answers. After all the chem, we went on a nature hike. Chloe liked the lily pads and Jesse liked the baby frogs. I got to actually meet some people I've "known" through FB and some I had met previously, but was unable to talk to during that event. I think we all had fun and can't wait for the next gathering.

Hey, Marsha. I am interested in the classes at Clemson. Are these homeschool classes or just for anyone? How do you find out and sign up?
Thanks,
Julia
Julia, the instructor told me she is having open classes (for everyone) this summer. She is going to email me info. The class we took was for homeschoolers. I'll forward all info as I receive it.
