Tuesday DayLook: May 1, 2012

Madonna-and-The-Shepherd_thumb6_thum

Looking out from my back porch... it’s overcast and gloomy looking.  It is supposed to rain…

I am thankful for... almost being able to see the end of this school year (both homeschool and the college where I advise a group) and the beginning of summer. 

I am reading… a lot of fluff, but at least it’s taking my mind off stuff and making me laugh.  I’m halfway through a couple serious books, too.

I am praying for... the repair of a relationship.

I am hearing... Graham sounding out phonograms for his dictation test.

I am wearing… jeans and a light sweater.

From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… we’ve had a mock-up of one of Angelina’s sewing projects sitting on the table for about a month… need to get it sewn so she can get busy.

From the School Room... can I just say I’m ready for the year to end?  I’m tired, tired, tired.

From the Kitchen... I have been trying out some new recipes.  Yesterday I made a broccoli beef stir-fry that we all liked.  It was super easy to prepare, too.

From the Garden… still no seed starts.  Looks like I’ll be purchasing broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and any other ‘things’ I should have started a month ago!  Did manage to get a few more bags of amendment for the SFG’s, so they’ll be ready to go when I’m ready to plant.

From the FarmYard… the sheep arrived yesterday and we have about 15 head of pigs this year!  It’s a bit noisy in the barn at times.

A successful moment… each week we make it through feels like a milestone at this point.  There have just been so many activities and events.

A few plans for the rest of the week… Tuesday: home and school and cleaning and laundry

Wednesday: meetings in Fargo all afternoon into the evening

Thursday & Friday: home and school

Saturday/Sunday: 4-H Activity Day for the oldest four, RE closing party and potluck on Sunday

A picture memory...
