Butter


Ambers butter, just after turning it onto the board before it is worked.

A recent article in the Home Education Network newsletter referred to how many questions young children ask during home-based conversations. (Young children, according to the study, average 26 questions every hour!) As I was contemplating this, Tivon, who was eating a sandwich and is no longer SO young, asked "Why is Amber's butter so yellow?". I answer, because of the fresh grass in summer. This is followed by Tivon asking, why is shop butter not so yellow? and several more questions.... I don't always have the answer.
