We are several days into our Very Rare Winter Wonderland, here in Texas. The weather is freezing and several inches of ice still cover the ground. Here in Texas, it snows or ices so rarely that when it does, there are no resources to manage it. There are a few trucks with sand available for the roads, but at times like this, those are clearly inadequate, so everything literally shuts down. This includes stores, schools, places of business.

Although we are not going to officially be starting homeschool until next year (2014) when Clark would be starting Kindergarten, I've been thinking trying to think of what it is going to look like for us. Ideally, I want to incorporate lots of nature and outdoor activities into our daily life. As a new homeschooler, I am still learning what that will involve.

As I was driving Clark to his Preschool, we passed our...
