For Today: May 31, 2010
Looking out from my back porch... puffy white clouds in a light blue sky, slight breeze ruffling the trees, our back yard is green … with weeds! But, it is green; I can imagine how nice a lawn will look.
I am thinking about… 4-H projects and school curriculum.
I am thankful for... good friends who remind me not to take myself so seriously and strangers who remind me to put my
struggles to pray.
I am reading… through the brochures and magazines in the ‘goodie’ bag handed out at the MN Homeschool Conference this past weekend.
I am hoping... for a productive week.
I am hearing... the sounds of laundry drying from upstairs.
I am wearing…black knit capris & a cream t-shirt.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… today Angelina is working on sewing her denim skirt (a 4-H project).
From the school room... still working to memorize the final poems for a one child. We’ll start ‘summer’ (ie. workbooks to keep the kids entertained while driving to and from swimming) lessons next week.
From the kitchen... Polish sausage for supper with fresh asparagus. Odd combo, I know, but it’s available.
State of the house… not sure which is ahead … the dust bunnies or the piles. Let’s just say both are thriving!
A successful moment… the square foot gardens are planted as of this afternoon.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Tuesday: Pedicure for me – I can hardly wait.
Wednesday: Graham’s 4th Birthday!
Thursday: 4-H Showcase – Angelina will be competing in the Sew & Show and the Buy & Show; Dash will be competing in the Project Expo.
Friday: 4-H District 6 Communication Arts contest. Both Angelina and Dash will present a Serious Reading.
Saturday/Sunday: Angelina’s 10th Birthday! CCM Baby Shower for Louis & I. Animal Showmanship Practice for Dash, Angelina & Zeke.
A picture memory...
We have acquired a stock trailer – for transporting animals.
Angelina’s SFG – peas above & onions below
Cucumber plants already blooming!
Macalester College – site of the 2010 MN Catholic Homeschool Conference – friends Sarah G. & Julie
Louis & I just hanging out on the Macalester campus. Saturday was hot, but the slight breeze and shade felt wonderful. I really enjoyed the grass!

Remember these?? The kids planted ‘slips’ at a 4-H meeting in late April. The plants have grown quite a bit.
Stock trailer is great - (was Eric thinking of a quieter ride for the kids this Summer? :)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that your cukes are blooming already! Your SFG is looking great. I'm off shortly to get some compost to add to mine and plant before the rain today. Love this time of year!
Glad you didn't post WHY you were waiting so long in the nice grass at the Conference :)
