Happy May … Mary’s month of May!
Looking out from my back porch... those grass seeds that were sown last fall are finally starting to make the yard look a little green. The trees are showing faint swelling at the tips, so are showing signs of coming forth in life, too. There are at least two sets of Mallard ducks who’ve chosen the slough in our backyard to be their home pond, so hope to see babies in the future.
I am thankful for... warmth and sun. Even if we didn’t have these two wonderful ‘things’, it’s warm enough now for the kids to go outside, for which I am so VERY thankful!
I am reading… my County Living Encyclopedia by Carla Emery. This is a fascinating reference; I refer to it often for answering questions in wide range of topics.
I am hearing... squeaky chairs and clicking of the computer keyboard.
I am wearing… a t-shirt and capris.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… I did cross a few items off my to-do list: mended Angelina’s denim skirt and my grey pants. In addition, I serged the edge of some ‘messy’ velour type fabric so it could be pre-washed.
From the school room... we are so much closer to the end of the formal school year. Both Angelina and Dash will need about another month and a half to finish up Latin, but all else should be completed by mid-May. I do plan to have a few subjects continue through the summer: Math, Keyboarding, Computer Science, Art for Zeke and Graham in the form of a Lapbook.
From the kitchen... mini-chocolate chip scones and maple pecan scones.
From the garden… planted all the onions in the SFG’s last week. It felt great to get in the dirt, so-to-speak. Yes, they survived the snowfall this past weekend.
A successful moment… last week, I was not confident about the outcome of two meetings in which I had a role. Thankfully, they ended on better terms than I had hoped.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: Eric is picking up-the kids’ 4-H pigs today. The kids have Tae Kwon Do.
Tuesday –Wednesday: No special plans for these days. Eric may pick up our sheep and it’s time to make sure all the chick supplies are set up and in order.
Thursday: Meeting in Fargo for me, the kids also have TKD. The chicks are due to arrive this morning.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Eric’s RE class receives their sacraments of Confirmation and !st Eucharist on Saturday. Sunday is the parish celebration for these students. Happy Mother’s Day, too!
A picture memory...
Louis having fun spreading a mess … thank goodness big sister will help clean up while mom snaps pictures.
