The flowers are blooming! Today is a beautiful day: the sun is shining, it's warm and the flowers are in full bloom. Especially our decorative cherry tree!
When we learned that there is big demand for dried cherry blossom flowers, we decided this year to harvest a batch and put them in the dehydrator.
The flowers are beautiful and they smell amazing. The girls were commenting about how their hands smelled like cherry-blossom flowers - sort of like a mild almond / cherry scent.
Even our littlest one is helping out by stopping and smelling the flowers.
We collected two large bowls full of flowers. Once they dehydrate, they'll loose most of their volume and weight. But hopefully, that delicious scent will still remain.
We plan on mixing it with loose tea - and we may look into making an etsy page. We found a seller who is offering dried cherry blossoms for $14 / oz.
I was very pleased with the diligent effort that the children put into this project. The tree is still full of blossoms, so there will be more picking during the week. I wonder how many ounces we'll have when they're dried?
What a fun activity to do with the children before leaving for the week, this evening!

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
