second grade, day four...

...and it's going swimmingly! (Literally, it started with swimming.) Can't wait to find some time to put together our 2022-2023 curriculum video. The Planning video is up on the homeschooling page; please check it out!

Today we went to the sister site of a beloved East Marion haunt, Lavender by the Bay. In the past few years, the family which owned Lavender by the Bay has expanded their farm to a second location in Calverton (47 Manor Road, Calverton, 631-477-1019). Perfect for us, because the trip was a lot closer, and there was still acre upon acre of dreamy, scented lavender, replete with contentedly buzzing bees. It is truly a sight to behold: a sea of purple.

Pollinators galore!

A peaceful, quiet, simple moment... my kind of luxury...

Picked up some neat baking supplies, made from their own plants: Lavender Sugar and Lavender Honey.
