Looking out from my back porch... it’s wet and green.
I am thankful for...the rain we’ve received because the garden needed watering several times last week and we’d gotten used to the weather taking care of that task.
I am reading…at the prompting of a good friend, ‘Experience Grace in Abundance’ by Johnnette Benkovic has moved to the top of the pile. We are considering this book for our women’s group in the coming year and we both agreed to pre-read it.
I am hearing...the kids talking/playing in the basement.
I am wearing…denim capris and a salmon colored t-shirt; french braided hair today.
From the school room... piles galore on my desk and a list of tasks to complete before the start of the school year. Finished entering Dash’s lesson plans in Homeschool Tracker and finished planning out the daily syllabus for each student.
From the kitchen... tuna salad croissants are planned for lunch. For supper, it depends on my ambition! It’ll either be pan-fried fish (ambitious me) or oven baked fish (UN-ambitious me) … either way, I should take the fish out of the freezer to thaw!
From the Garden…the peas are maturing, beans have lots of blossoms, and I pulled out the Chinese cabbage because it started to go to seed. I need to read up on growing Chinese cabbage… I think it needs to be tied up or covered with dirt. We should be able to harvest a couple summer squash very soon.
From the FarmYard…the Ameraucana chicks were moved to the Wahoo, laying hens were wormed, rabbit ear mites are being treated, and the broiler chickens have about a month to go before harvest. We have arrangements to acquire a new mini-rex buck on Monday!
Successful moments… another section of the Wahoo was cleaned, all the daylilies and irises were dug from my in-laws’ garden (on the to-do list for three years!) and replanted in our flower bed, Dash put together the new stacking rabbit pens.
The week in review…
Monday: TKD and errands.
Tuesday: Mostly at home.
Wednesday: Ortho appt for Dash in Fargo. We also visited the Grant family to see/hold my newest God-daughter – Juliette! She’s adorably tiny.
Thursday: Eric took the kids to TKD and I stayed home to catch up on bills.
Friday: We are staying home and just working around the house/garage/farm.
A picture memory... pics from Grandma & Grandpa’s Green Acres’ 50th Anniversary Celebration!

The siblings and families gave this commissioned artwork to their parents/grandparents. It shows the farm when they first moved out in the upper right and the home as it is today in the lower left.
