my wife homeschools......lol but yes we do.

dewberry is similar to a blackberry, just a tad tarter.......more of a creeping vine, rather than a climber.......

Dewberry is a common name for the wild blackberry.

Dewberries are delicious! "Just don't go into the long grass!!!!! Stay out of the long grass!!!!!" That is what I would yell to my kids..... chiggers!

Humm probably more pf a warm weather plant. What thrives here are gooseberries and some raspberries. I tried to find a good way to eat gooseberries, But it is definitely an acquired taste.
We strongly considered homeschooling, but my girls are desperate for friends, so we are going to feel it out. If we see a reason to pull them from school and teach at home, we will. We used to have a great little Catholic school that taught until 8 th grade, but it just closed down. (The broiler broke down and was cost prohibitive.)

Ticks and chiggers and Heaven only knows what else - the thing I worry about the most is the venomous snakes. From the time my kids were toddlers, I have told them not to put hands or feet anywhere they can't see.

don't discount home schooling because of lack of friends......home schooling isn't what it used to be.

there are many opportunities for those kids to get out and interact with other home schoolers, from sports, to theater, to even co-ops(think classes taught in a more conventional school setting, except you dont' have to worry about governmental bias).

Quote: Sour and 3GE have been hug-bombing another poster on another thread - all I can say is, that must be some mighty vigorous hugging, to have worn them out so badly.

Why of course. that must be it.
I should not have tried to keep up with sour. I should have stuck to three hugs.
