I have enjoyed linking up with Stef over at Educating Layton for the Homeschool Postcards day. It has challenged me to find pictures or to take pictures of the different topics. Today’s topic, State Tree or Flower was a very hard one for me. My laptop has been out of commission for a couple of weeks now and I am having to borrow one. Which means all of my pictures are on my laptop. I have had to go dig through my Picasa Web Albums looking for pictures. This is where my pictures come from today. Pictures from Christmas and early Spring.
The state flower for North Carolina is actually a flowering tree. It is the Dogwood tree. Even though the majority of the ones you see are white, they can also come in shades of pink and red.
I took these pictures of a pink dogwood right down the road from us. It was so beautiful being in full bloom. We are hoping to get a couple of the trees to plant in our yard next year.
North Carolina has 2 different types of tree for its state tree. It has the Longleaf Pine tree (which I did not have a picture for) and the Christmas tree. The Christmas Tree is a Frasier Fir Christmas tree. We get one of these for Christmas every year. We go out to a Christmas Tree Farm every year and choose our own. This is a family tradition we have done since our oldest was just a baby.
This past year, we were invited to a private Christmas Tree Farm who just does wholesale to many states in the south. It is owned by a homeschooling family in our homeschool group. We had a blast that day! We are looking forward to going back this year.
Be sure to stop by Educating Layton and check out all the others who are linking up with Homeschool Postcards. It is so amazing at the neat little facts you can learn from others!

Welcome to iFellowship! As you may have noticed, I have post scripture from 1 Peter the last couple of weeks. Our pastor has been preaching and teaching us from 1 Peter. As usual, there have been powerful words that really have stuck with me. If we do not have Jesus as our cornerstone, we will crumble and fall. It is important that we always keep Jesus first in our lives!
Blessings to you!
