I thought we’d never find it again, really, but I did not want to say that here. Seems for the longest time after Thanksgiving, we just could not get into the swing of doing school consistently every day. I knew since we were homeschooling, that we had room for some of that, but my oh my, it could not go on forever!
Finally, last week, we found it! We found that spark that makes us want to do our math and reading and other subjects, every day.. Yesterday we took a quick walk outside and found a basket full of this and that to look at under the microscope.
We were like little children, suprised every single time something new went under the lens! I mean, have you looked at lamb’s ear under a microscope? It is amazing. It looks like fabric, with all of its fibers and softness.
We had a fabulous co-op this morning and then Michaela came home and did her math lesson, and now it’s off to a play date. It gives me the afternoon with quite a list of possible things I could do. Not outside, because it’s raining, but many to-do’s in the house and many errands to run. Or maybe I’ll just take a nap. 
Even in the rain, I am remembering and appreciating the two lovely, warm and sunny days we had this week. It was a touch of spring in the middle of January.
Enjoy this day.

Oh, I love having a list of possiblities! Almost like looking in at a candy shop window, isn’t it? I hope you get to do something that will make your heart glad.
I have to ask you about your microscope. We’ve always wanted one but are pretty clueless as to what defines quality. Obviously yours is working well for you. May I ask what brand it is?
Happy to hear you “got your groove” back….wherever it went! Have a blessed day in the Lord!
Good Morning Lynn…
I love your Wordless Wednesday snap of your sweet kitchen!
I’ve never looked at lamb’s ear under the scope… I’ll be putting that one on my list of things to do!

Emily, hello! Yes, possibilities are nice.
My microscope was probably fairly expensive new, but I went to the Duke Surplus Store (not even sure they still have that) which is where Duke University sells off stuff it doesn’t use any longer. This microscope is a Swift and it was used in a marine biology lab. I don’t even remember what I paid for it. Less than 100. We’ve had it for quite a few years.
Michele, thank you. I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures lately!
We’ve been in a similar slump ourselves with our homeschooling. We have been faithful to the basics, but the spark is gone. Mostly I am thinking it is because I am totally distracted with this upcoming move. I am glad to know you are back in the groove. Maybe there is hope for us.
