This bird has been flying around our garden for a while...it's small....definitely not a Jay.....has blue legs.....black beak (the orangey bit you see is something in it's mouth) ..... Whatever it is, it's beautiful! Rosie and Amber sit on the porch steps watching it fly around and land and feed and then fly on....there heads moving as though they are watching a tennis match at Wimbledon!It's a little like a Mountain Bluebird but not exactly...it has a black bandanna across its eyes. We also have purple martins flying around.....you can't tell that its a small bird here...much smaller than a Jay....
Our Robins are still around feeding....despite their babies being no where in sight.....Mama and Papa are still with us.....
It's been a very stressful day.......I have self medicated with a box of Raspberry Viva Puffs that I shared with Rosie and Amber on the porch. Now I just feel strung out on sugar.
We went into town today, Chris had his hair cut, we ran some errands and spent a while in the library...ran into Susannahs old facilitator....she was laughing at how many books we had taken out of the library...
I bought a huge pile of books from the used books shelves.....a lot of history books on Egypt etc.....I am hoping to study Ancient Egypt somewhere this Fall.....and the kids haver been learning about it all too......
We went to Chapters to get Laurie a magazine about dirtbikes, it's the topic he wants to learn about the most...and Lloyd is thinking of getting him a bike or a quad.....I got each of the kids a magazine of their choice.....
I'm hoping to take part in an unschoolers blogging carnival....http://tinyurl.com/lnp4l
Lloyd is on his way home.....thankfully. TGIF I love the weekends. I live for the weekends! Lloyd is taking Laurie to the movies tonight to see X Men 3 and Chris has his friends Andrew sleeping over as they are working on some coimputer games based on the world wars.
The girls have their magazines to read or they can curl up witha dvd.....not sure what I will do this evening.......it's still raining out....maybe I'll sit on the porch and read....maybe I will write some letters.....I'm tired today...I haven't been taking my iron.....I am quite anaemic so have to be careful..........
I have finally decided to go with Education UNlimited....I think their philosophies match mine the closest...not perfect I'm sure but I think we will try them for the next year and see.....
