Looking out from my back porch... it’s snowing again. Guess the positive way to look at this is that the crusty, yucky looking snow is being covered up.
I am thankful for... a day at home, the ability to order online, meeting new couples (from our 1st CCL class last night) who are excited about their faith and living it.
I am reading… Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy. I’ve been on a thriller/mystery kick the last couple weeks.
I am hearing... Graham playing with toys, Dash writing on paper and making clicking noises … why do kids make random annoying noises?? To make their mothers work on patience!
I am wearing… an old sweatshirt (remember I don’t need to go anywhere today), jeans, and tennies.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… Angelina’s dance costume needs adjusting.
From the school room... the plans for next year are coming together and the supplies lists are well on their way to being filled, too. I’ve started to use a few more computer resources in the last few weeks. Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing has be wonderful for Dash & Angelina! I also downloaded the current version of Math Facts Now! for Zeke, who needs a bit of practice on the multiplication tables.
From the kitchen… this weekend, I made a huge (as in 18 cups of oatmeal … HUGE) batch of monster cookies. I baked half and froze half the dough in balls for baking later.
From the farmyard… the chicks are ordered! 5 Buff Orpington females, 5 Barred Rock females, and 35 Cornish Rock Cross slow broilers (straight run for butchering in early August) should arrive as chicks the first week in May. The first 10 we’ll add to the current laying flock.

A successful moment… FINALLY, all the composition papers are corrected. I’d been two weeks behind for what seems like forever.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: Eric leaves tonight for a meeting in MN.
Tuesday: Angelina has a haircut tonight before her dance class. She and I are going to a Lia Sophia jewelry party tonight, too.
Wednesday: Stay home
Thursday: Real Presence Radio Banquet – Archbishop Chaput from Denver is the speaker.
Friday: National Quiet Day – I’ve been dreaming of this all month…that’s how long I’ve known that there IS a National Quiet Day.
Saturday/Sunday: Crop Judging for Angelina and Dash. Niece – Miss E. – 1st Birthday Party on Sunday.
A picture memory... This is our county 4-H Crop Judging team. They placed first at the Oakes Contest. Angelina won High Individual in Oakes. Not to be outdone, Dash (on the right) won High Individual this past week in Kindred. They go back and forth … competition is good.
