Thank you to J Bean Palmer and Chris Palmer for sending us this signed copy of My Cape Cod Magic.

The beauty of the ocean floor.
The beauty of the lighthouse, being a beacon of light.

We have fully enjoyed the illustrations in this book.
This book shares the magic of Cape Cod, It makes me want to be there.
This year we are studying Swimming Creatures of the 5th day and I love this book because we can incorporate it with our ocean study.
My Cape Cod Magic book brings to life the beauty of Cape Cod in a manor that is understandable to the children.
Our 6 year old daughter can read with some help the My Cape Cod Magic. This is a great book for early readers. The words are large and simple enough to encouarge a young reader without getting frustrted. My Cape Cod Magic has a poetic style that is really awesome.
We have fully enjoyed My Cape Cod Magic and our very blessed to have gotten to review this book.

Morning Nature Study and Evening Nature Study


I think this is some kind of lichen, we have to look it up.


This old tree has been used by a woodpecker. Later you will see that Ducky drew a picture of the tree with a woodpecker.


Grasshopper, Ducky holding the grasshopper.



Beauty Berry

The berries on this tree can be used for:
food
paint
and I'm sure for other things.


Caterpillar on a caution sign. Not sure what kind either, need to look it up.


We saw a turtle in the water also.


This bird was so funny it was posing for me.


Flower with a bee drinking the nectar.
You never know what you will see on any given day.

Last night we went out to look at the moon, that we couldn't get a good picture of it.
We saw this spider right outside our house. Not sure what kind it is, if you know please let me know. Even through I'm very afraid of spiders they are so fascinating. Did you know that the Female spider eats the Male when they mate? Interesting.

This is the section in the book.

It's very important for our girls to know how to dress and what is a appropriate to wear.

Morning Nature Study


Hurricane Irene is churning out there but here in Florida we are feeling the affects. The wind and rain. We are praying for  all of the East Coast for safety and protection from Our Almighty Father.
I captured this picture outside our home.


My husband was leaving in the morning and saw these cute baby ducks. We went outside to get a peek. We decided to feed them. The babies stay right next to her mommy, it reminds me how we need to stay close to our Heavenly Father.



D Man loving the wind.


Ducky feeding the ducks, so cute.

I love these opportunities and it reminds why nature is so important to all of us. Breathing the fresh air, looking at whats around us and feeling the wind on our faces.
