Tomato lesson...

This year we conducted an experiment with our tomatoes.
We put the walls of water on one plant and nothing on the other to see if the walls really did matter.

Here is our tomato plant with the walls of water...

Without...
Our conclusion?
Like the tomato plant who needs protection from the harshness of the weather, our children need protection from the harshness of the world. Yes, there are wonderful things that happen in our world but there are also bad influences that can lead our children astray and essentially 'wither' them away.
Our homes are so important, we need to make them a place of refuge, a place they look forward to...
Like Savvy always says, "Mom, I want to go home, it makes me happy."
