They live in little burrows, tunnel through grasses and eat roots. They can do quite a bit of damage to gardens and orchards so we need to figure out how to control them before we start planting! .-= Dana´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoscommonAcres/~3/Lk195GnhNVM/" rel="nofollow">Half Day Work Day Success</a> =-.

I honestly feel like, for every story like THIS that comes out, there are probably 20 in the school systems that we never hear about. Really... I don't know anybody remotely like this, and yet procedures for "paddling" and locking children into closets (euphemistically called "safe" or "recovery" rooms) are clearly outlined in the student handbook. No kidding. Sadly, this will reinforce stereotypes about those wacko fundie homeschoolers who do nothing but study Scripture and whoop their kids with wooden spoons.

There have been several times I haven't been able to get up the hill on the fist attempt. Once, the bottom of the car even hit the mud and I didn't think I was getting out. I've even done that slow, sideways slide down that hill, but in mud rather than on ice. I can't wait until that snow is gone which is providing continual moisture as it melts. A normal rain would just wash down the hill and then it could dry. I need a sunny day so I can get some decent pictures. Trying to come up with something for the header, but at the moment, I can't change the CSS anyway. :) .-= Dana´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoscommonAcres/~3/HLjVdeLNyj0/" rel="nofollow">Signs of Spring</a> =-.
