USA Today posted a very good summary article on the Space Shuttle program and its wrap-up, that lines up with many of my thoughts on the subject. (Unfortunately, the URL seems to have some very frustrating timeout features that make it difficult to read the entire article. I had to click on "Share this" in order to keep the story up long enough to read.)

Follow Friday: Kid's Gardening
The National Gardening Association has an associated website, KidsGardening,with articles for parents and schools. You can sign up for a monthly e-newsletter on the website. In June, the newsletter included their Parents Primer for getting started. This is an excellent resource for parents to continue their garden learning. It also has information for schools to set up a school or classroom garden.

On being a working parent.
At some point in this blog I like to talk about what it means to be a working parent. When we were expecting, my husband got into the Expectant Father series
. I read them too, and was struck by how, with a stay-at-home-dad, I (Mom) felt the same pressures to work longer, earn more, make sure my family was taken care of.I've always been career-oriented, and having a child hasn't changed that, much. I have to say that one of my biggest hopes, as a busy working parent, is to be like Charlie Brown's dad in this Father's Day strip.
