Outside My Window...it is hazy but they promise a lovely day - sunny with a 14c temperature. We have been having lovely weather but I really want us to have rain or snow - please someone do a rain dance!!! We NEED some rain or snow please!!! It is soooo dry out there - there are wildfires starting daily and yesterday there was one quite close to our home - just along the highway - started just by a guy cutting his grass - a spark from his lawnmower tractor!!! The girls can't ride their quadbikes any more just in case - it's THAT dry :( We NEED rain!!
I am thinking....that I really should finish this post before my battery dies....
I am thankful for...a lovely Spring Break and Easter - that the children were all in good moods and all got along really well all week long - Chris seems to be really happy lately and our trip away seemed to do us all good! Spring seems to be doing us all good!! A four day week for Lloyd last week and a four day week for Lloyd this week :)
From the learning rooms...life keeps ticking on....we learn what we learn....life learning....a little art...a little science...a little math...some story writing....journaling...haiku...maps....whatever we feel like doing....
From the kitchen...Easter treats, all kinds of baking from Susannah in the last week.....sweet and sour chicken going in the crockpot today....
I am wearing...I'm not dressed yet, so my nighty right now.
I am creating...crochet, art journaling, ATC's, many Haiku,
I am going...swimming today :) so looking forward to it :) also to the library!!
I am reading...not a lot this week except some magazines that Lloyd picked up for me...it's been a fun relaxing week....
I am hoping...it rains or snows on Thursday and Friday!!!
I am hearing...Sam chatting to himself in the shower...and the shower water running.
Around the house...it's been fun having the children home all week - having the doors and windows open wide all week because the temperatures have been so lovely...eating brunch out on the deck each day...we have tidied up the acreage after Winter and it is looking tidy this year which makes a change as the last couple of years there has been work going on and there has been a mess outside - building work and chaos and mess everywhere - but this year it looks neat and tidy out there and I am happy :)
One of my favorite things... walking around our acreage and seeing the changes through the year and over the years - seeing the trees grow - seeing the birds that return each year - seeing the ant hills year by year....seeing that the porcupines are still in the same areas....seeing the saltlicks are being used.....knowing our land and how it changes over time. Knowing the rhythms of life here.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: swimming twice this week, coffee date this week while Laurie starts his tumbling class, Sam starts his new class, hopefully meeting Samantha!
