Evening sun...

My apple tree is blossoming..

So pretty :)  

For today:

Outside My Window... It is dark...and silent.

I am thinking...I should really go to sleep but I haven't updated my blog for sooo long.  I hope the last two quads sell this week.  A few people are interested and have asked to come and look at them...I am hopeful.  So far no one has come and looked at anything and NOT bought it...so lets hope the same goes for these last two.

I am thankful for...The lady at John Deere NOT thinking I was completely insane after I practically had a breakdown in the store and told her my entire lifestory and told her I wanted to ram the bloody tractor up my ex husbands ass!!  I am thankful that she had a Mom who had gone through something similar and she could totally relate.  Mix PMS with the fact that my Ex has been a total WANKER today and it doesn't make me very happy....

From the kitchen...Susannah has decided she wants to be a chef...so she is cooking as much as possible...which is fine by me...Yesterday I prepped the supper before I went out and then left her to do whatever she wanted to go with it....

I am wearing...it's midnight and I'm in bed - so my typical sleepwear.

I am creating...art journaling mainly....especially art techniques from the She Had Three Hearts class that I took recently  - by Christy Tomlinson!!!  LOVED that class - thank you sooooo much Kathy for treating me to it!  I learned soooo much and had so much fun teaching the techniques to my children too!  I am now working through Soul Restoration 2 which started TODAY!!  And I love already!!  Still can't believe I am booked in to Brave Girls Camp!!

I am going...to Fort Ed on Saturday...looking forward to that :)  Child free which is something I've always wanted to do!!  
I am reading...The Help by Kathryn Stockett - the first book for the book group I have joined.  We are meeting for the first time mid July to discuss it - I'm really looking forward to that!  I've always wanted to be in a book group!  I'm pleased to hear they have made a movie of this book too - it will be interesting to see that too - I wonder if I can persuade a few of the group members to come and see it with me!

I am hoping...those quads sell...I would really like them gone!!  I am hoping these bugs we have here finally go this week and we are all finally healthy!!  I am hoping this dull weather goes and the heat and sun is back for good!!    I am hoping the battery is easy to put in the tractor!!

I am hearing... a mosquito somewhere in the room.  Silence in the house.

Around the house...The house is clean and tidy apart from a few things - I need to wash the windows.  The main floor needs dusting and I have some laundry to do.  Tonight I decluttered and sorted all the homeschool drawers and got rid of a lot of things we no longer need...work books and sheets we will never use, old pictures, old unit studies, old craft supplies that are no good....

One of my favorite things...all the dandelions outside - when they are sunshiny yellow and so bright and cheery - AND when they turn to clocks and look so feathery and pretty and like a carpet of wishes :)  

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...a visit to the COW bus (classroom on wheels), library homeschool session on their summer reading program, farmers market...a homeschool park day, appointment with my hair stylist Amber.  Awards ceremony to see Chris get his scholarship award. Parks and Rec open house  for homeschoolers at the community centre....Fort Edmonton with friends, movies to see Pirates of the Caribbean with friends...and on Sunday????  COLLAPSE WITH EXHAUSTION  hahahaha ;)  and then hopefully find the energy to get to the antiques mall as I need a few old photographs for a project...
