Looking out from my back porch... it looks crisp, cool and slightly windy. I really don’t want to stick an arm out to see if the temp predictions are accurate!
I am thankful for... warmth and a solid home – who in these northern climes isn’t thankful for those two at this time of year? Also thankful that in February I can start to see the end of some homeschooling subjects…lighter days are ahead.
I am reading… newspapers and blogs.
I am praying for... a good friend’s father who is in the hospital with pneumonia. Graham, who is preparing to receive his first Reconciliation this coming Sunday.
I am hearing... the water trickling through the filter of our aquarium. It’s a peaceful sound.
I am wearing… black knit pants (kinda like leggings, but heavier material), a purple knit top with a green/aqua cami underneath. I needed color today.
From the School Room... as I mentioned earlier, we are seeing the end nearing in some subjects. It’s a great feeling and makes the kids want to work ahead even more.
From the Kitchen... over the weekend, I made up meatloaf and meatballs to ‘base’ our meals for the week. We look forward to spaghetti and meatballs today.
From the Garden… if I’m going to start seeds, it will happen in March. Will I have the gumption?
From the FarmYard… a friend in Fargo sells eggs for me, thank goodness! Last year, Angelina was interested in Polish chickens, so we purchased 10. There were quite a few cockerels, so not all are laying hens. However, between them they produce about 2 dozen small eggs each week. I don’t sell these, but they’re great for egg dishes like omelets, french toast, scrambled eggs or boiled eggs.
A successful moment… the boys (Graham and Zeke) wrestled in their first tournament last Friday and each placed third in their group. They were happy and we thought it was fun to watch.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Tuesday: Little Loboe wrestling practice for Zeke & Graham, Greg will help with practice
Wednesday: Eric and I plan to attend a sponsored talk on ‘technology’ – free meal with the deal – is it a date?
Thursday: Little Loboe wrestling practice for Zeke & Graham, Greg will help with practice, Ballet Academy for Angelina
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Well baby check for Marcus, bulk shopping in Fargo, First Reconciliation Retreat & First Reconciliation for Graham, Scrap quilt workshop for Angelina, Crop Judging for Zeke & Angelina, Possible Wrestling Tourney for Zeke & Graham
A picture memory...
Zeke above and Graham below in 2009. Zeke would have been six and Graham three. My how they change over the years…the interest in Legos and building, however, has NOT changed!
