Now, about mid-summer, is the time we anticipate the inevitable dog days to come as we watch our pincushion fields go barren and eagerly wait for protea season. However, the warm weather is no match for Grevillea flowers, they’re fuss-free sun-lovers that stand up to the rising mercury and add some much-needed color during this transitional period. These lollipop-like flowers, also referred to as Bush Lollies, Bush Toothbrush and Spiderman, provide masses of summery blooms that add, color, and fabulous texture in and out of the fields. Their popularity comes from their willingness to flower and flower. Here are just a few of the varieties being harvested. ‘Moonlight’ This popular variety has attractive deeply divided foliage and bears beautiful, lemon-yellow toothbrush flowers. 'Honey Gem' A fabulous of cultivar G. banksii and G. pteridifolia. Flowers are apricot with orange-yellow style and the leaves have silvery reverse. 'Misty Pink' A vigorous and hardy free flowering shrub with grayish leaves. Spectacular pink and cream 6 to 7” blooms in terminal clusters of six or more. 'Superb' One of the best bloomers with pink, peach and creamy colored flowers. 'Sylvia' Large dense, deep red flower spikes are produced on the plant for most of the year. Can you picture these fabulous flowers in your garden or favorite arrangement?

The yellow of the flowers was completely different. But I was using an old palette with limited pigments. A good way to force myself to not obsess about matching colours exactly. And my Lamy Safari with blue ink is still attached to another pen to use as an extended tool, so I played with loose line. Can't remember which I did first. The pen first I think.
As summer heats up, we are keeping things cool with an array of creative and informative protea projects, each individually crafted here on the farm. “This poster is an organized, yet fun way to represent the many different Protea grown here in Rainbow,” says Paulette, our talented design artist. “I started working at Resendiz Brothers a few months ago having never seen a protea. After designing this poster I can say I am well-versed in the Proteaceae Family. I think our customers will have the same experience.” Click here to download a printable version of the poster - Enjoy!

After we investigated worms, the kids decided on a mural as the project to show what they had learned. One thing they all helped with was painting the soil, then they worked in teams to make different parts of the mural. One team cut some green paper for grass. They studied what worm tunnels looked like and painted them onto the soil. After each team worked on the part of the mural they signed up for, they wrote information that they wanted to share about their part of the project. Another team used books to review what worms look like so they wouldn't miss any details! Then they made some worms and added them to the tunnels. The top one says, "At night worms bring dead leaves into the soil." Another team worked on the cocoons which they learned held the eggs until they hatched. One team wanted to paint flowers and make roots to show how worms help them. Many kids were very interested in how the worms created castings that helped hide their tunnels from predators and also helped plants grow by providing food. One big interest that surprised me was the predator/prey relationships! If we had another month of school, I think they would have loved to do an inquiry on the food chain. After reading a book called "Feathers For Lunch," they made the connection through their own discussion that the worm eats the dirt, the bird eats the worm, the cat eats the bird! They thought that was so cool! They used the same book to investigate which local birds were worm eaters to add to the mural. They were also really starting to get into the different types of birds and what sounds they made! Another possible inquiry had we more time! They also found out other predators liked to eat worms such as moles, hedge hogs and snakes, so they had to add these to the mural also! They also glued feathers to wooden clothespins after studying what robins, blue jays and house wrens looked liked. They did such a great job making them accurate but I didn't get photos of them! They also added some documentation from worm observations. Here is the finished mural! I now know, because of these little researchers, more than I ever thought I would know about worms! They truly loved this inquiry and took ownership of it! The more I have learned this year to let go and let the kids pick what to study based on their interests and experiences, the more I see with my own eyes the value in it! I am having more fun teaching than ever before! Of course, this big group of scientists and engineers that I have this year have made it extra enjoyable!

Je vous retrouve aujourd’hui pour un petit DIY automnal ! Vous connaissez ma passion pour les perles HAMA, et bien figurez-vous qu’il y a peu j’ai découvert qu’elles existaient en version mini, beaucoup plus petites, qui permettent donc des créations plus fines et un peu plus délicates. Ça fait un moment que j’avais en tête de réaliser des marque-pages en perles à repasser, mais je trouvais les perles de base un peu trop grosses pour ce genre de projet… Les mini-perles sont donc tombées à pic ! Comme j’adore l’automne, j’ai eu envie de m’inspirer de la saison. Je suis donc partie sur une série de 3 petits marque-pages ambiance balade-en-forêt-un-dimanche-d-octobre : un renard, un hibou et une petite noisette ! Le principe est le même que pour les perles Hama de base : on les place sur une plaque (plus petite elle aussi) et on repasse ! Je vous conseille de les manipuler avec une pince à épiler, elles sont vraiment minuscules donc avec les doigts c’est plutôt fastidieux. Attention également à ne pas laisser le fer trop longtemps, comme elles sont plus petites elles fondent beaucoup plus vite ! (Je vous épargne le carnage de mon premier hibou …
