DayLook: Monday, May 23, 2011

Madonna-and-The-Shepherd_thumb6_thum

Looking out from my back porch... cloudy.  Green and yellow on the ground.  Trees are leafing out and adding more green to the surroundings.

I am thankful for... lots!  I really do appreciate being able to stay home with my kids.

I am reading… how about, when I sit on my couch, I LOOK at the books I would like to be reading.

I am hearing... it’s quiet for the moment…maybe I should go check on that.

I am wearing… beige capris and a purple top.

From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… Whoo-Hoo!  Angelina’s corduroy skirt is done!!  The hand-stitching was a bear, but she made it to the end. 

From the school room... Dash is actually in the brick-and-mortar school this week for Driver’s Ed. He’s in class from 9am-4:30pm … guess it’s a good thing he’s been practicing long days this past semester (that’s a joke … I did NOT enjoy his practicing of the long days).  I’m not quite sure how I feel about my oldest soon to be a permitted driver.

From the kitchen... brownies and bread.  This new brownie recipe really is a good one.  Instead of shortening, which I don’t care to use, coconut oil was substituted.  Coconut and chocolate … MMmmmmm!  I’d like to mix up the dry ingredients to have on hand, individually bagged for ease.

From the Garden…  nothing much cuz of the rain.  I just keep shuffling the seedlings out to the sun and then back into shelter at night. 

From the FarmYard…  the chicks keep growing and the hens keep laying.  It’s truly time to make the brooder bigger and loose one of the heat lamps. 

A successful moment… the cards for my in-laws 50th Anniversary are ordered. 

A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday – Friday: Driver’s Ed. all week for Dash.  TKD for the four oldest on Monday & Thursday.  The overall theme is to get the 4-H project work done, do some gardening, and muck out the barn.

Saturday/Sunday:  the Grant family is coming out to visit on Sunday.  Memorial Day weekend – Have a great weekend!

A picture memory...
