Filling Up A Day

Written by admin on May 30th, 2008

Whew, the day’s over! The work day and the playtime afterwards! I know it’s hard to imagine, but it takes discipline to make oneself sit for 8 hours in a chair in one’s home and type. I mean there are so many other things that I could be doing, but I can’t.

At least I get to take my breaks and lunch in my own garden, right? And, well, with three little kittens hanging out in the garden, it’s so much fun right now! Does the little kitten, above, look like her mother, Fluffy?

The sun was so bright, the little one can hardly open its eyes. Well, it can hardly open them anyway. The kittens are only weeks old. Fluffy is taking such good care of her family. She drinks a lot of water these days.

She comes frequently to one of my birdbaths to drink. I’m just so glad we found out the kittens were safe. We’d been wondering…

The garden is turning into a jungle. I knew it would, but I’m always amazed all over again when it starts to happen. Here is a link to a big picture of part of the garden. Like I said, it’s big. You may get an arrow in the lower right-hand corner of the picture to enlarge it.

More joys of the afternoon included finding a patent leather beetle. They’ll hiss at you if you pick them up.

We also watched a bit more of The Adams Chronicles. Good series. A lot of information. There is some language, but I assume it was put in contextually. There are parts that are very, very humorous and parts that are indeed sad. It’s been good for us to watch.

Oh, Emily, I don’t know what to do! First, I just hope they’ll make it. We have so many stray tom cats around and I worry about them wandering out in front of traffic. We are protecting them the best we can. The children want to keep them, but we don’t need anymore yard cats. Are you interested in one?

Too bad you aren’t near us, we’d love one of those sweeties.

Sheri, I wish you could get one. I know we are going to be in love with them when they start wandering around and can be held. But it would be nice to find homes.

About Lynn

I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 21 years and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I am married to my carpenter husband who is referred to here as the carpenter, papa bear, hubby, and big furry man (he has a full beard).

I am currently homeschooling my second oldest son. He has dyslexia and we have the most fun talking about words and the joys of reading and spelling. Really. Teaching him to read has been one of my greatest joys of my life. He will graduate from our homeschool next year.

I also homeschool my bright and bubbly (and very funny) 5th grade daughter, referred to as either Princess of the Universe or Miss Priss.

My homeschooling style is probably best described as eclectic. I love implementing Charlotte Mason-style ideas into my homeschooling as well as my parenting and I'm a huge fan of Karen Andreola's writings. The heart of our homeschool is Five In A Row.

I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I am a thrift store addict. I do medical transcription from home part-time.
