But alas, I also have a sick one home today. Our son J has a sick stomach. At least it hurts and he says he was sick last night. No fever, just the stomach. He has been very good about getting up every morning by or before 7am to get dressed and ready for school. We scurry around getting ready, packing the back pack and the lunch etc., then out the door at 8am and on the road to school. We arrive about 8:25ish and he has to be in homeroom at 8:38 on the dot. I am really very proud at how he has adjusted to going to school. He is going to the Christian School and it is great. He is hopefully going to have his needs in the special learning areas that he has, met. I do miss homeschooling with all my heart, but I do believe we are following the Lord's direction here. If there's one thing I learned by homeschooling the last 19 years, it is that there is more than one way to educate a child. So now it's time for us to try this route.
So I wonder what this weekend will bring. I know there is a sub sale tomorrow morning, which for us always also involves the making of the subs. Last time we made about 150. It's a production line and I, myself, have a good time. It's a great time of fellowship too. It's over at church, and the money for each month's sale goes to a different department in church. Tomorrow goes to the youth groups I think.
So... as I said, fall is upon us. I heard low flying geese at 6am reminding me of last year's goose invasion of our little lake in town. Hundreds of them were there! All winter! Canada geese and snow geese too. Snow geese are the all white ones.
It is really an experience standing in the driveway and having hundreds of geese fly over you at pretty low range, honking and making all kinds of noise. Everyday they rise (most of them) and fly to some farmer's field to see what they can find. I guess the farmers must not be real happy bout that!
So to conclude this blog today, I wanted to post some pictures of a late night visitor that was on our porch the other day. My dear husband took so many close range photos that I was afraid he blinded the poor guy!
Lovely, isn't he? Ha Ha! Well, at least he is very interesting. You don't see these insects everyday and the last I heard, they were a protected species. We let a peanut butter jar full of newly hatched ones in the garden last spring. They were 1/4 inch big or smaller.
Have a great weekend!
Yes, fall has arrived. We are packing for a three week trip to Florida in response.
