Looking Ahead This Morning
Monday, February 16th, 2009Just for you, more pictures of the garden from Saturday. It was a lovely weekend here, even if a bit chilly. Tonight it’s supposed to be even colder.
That’s okay. It’s February. (And you thought I didn’t know what month it was.)

Last night I did a bit of planning in the school planners. We’ve got 17 weeks left in our school year. We’ll be doing our annual testing in about 12 weeks. A couple of those weeks will be a spring break for us.
What does all of this mean? This school year will be over before I know it!

Next year Princess of the Universe will start Beyond Five In A Row, which I am very excited about. In this house, I don’t think we ever fully get away from Five In A Row, but formally she’ll be doing Beyond. We have several more Five In A Row Volume 4 titles I want to “row” before this school year is over. The one up next?
It fits in perfectly right now, actually. After reading about Ovid and looking at mythology, what better place to go than Rome? We’ll have to pull out Papa Piccolo for review, of course, and try our hand at drawing cats and birds. There is more reading I want to do from mythology and we’ll be reading more from Famous Men of Rome.

As far as gardening this year, I really want to ExPaNd and have FuN with it. (Like I don’t say THAT every year.) In the past we’ve enjoyed garden plans for children by Sharon Lovejoy, whose writing I adore, by the way.

Awwwww. They’re sisters, after all.

The hellebores are pretty. You have to get down on the ground and really appreciate them. I know I do! You would do that with me if you were here, right?

More daffodils.
Lest you think I have forgotten about school work for my sweet boy Joseph, I have goals for him too: Spell whatever word you like. I know you can do it.
We are working on spelling, spelling, spelling.
Make the most of this day.
Lynn
