I love the way the clouds and fog roll across the mountains up here...

 

I think it's so pretty and wispy. I have to say, though, as much as I love winter and would love one good snow (so the kids could use their new snow shoes and sleds!), I look forward to how green it is up here in spring/summer.  But every season has its own beauty...

For those of you who are interested in what we do during the day, here's just a tiny sampling... in between the math, reading, grammar, etc., we were doing a study on Ancient civilizations and this is an Egypt project we were working on.  the boys had so much fun constructing their desert scene that now they want to do it for Mali, Rome, Greece and China!  Me thinks they may get bored with doing these scenes for all of them, but we'll see....




Nothing warms the heart (for me) than seeing the boys into their work (cuz let's face it... it's not like that all the time!)  And I love walking into a room and finding them quietly reading a book (especially when I'm such a bookworm and LOVE to read), even when Rabbit is reading something wholesome like Little House on the Prairie books, and E is reading Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets!!!  Oh well.....

Rabbit lost his second tooth last night (it's been practically hanging out of his mouth for the past week!)  So he is 7 and this is only his second tooth loss.... I think his teeth are as stubborn as he is!  Is there a correlation here somewhere?! After all, he did end up hanging in there after I was induced and they STILL had to go in after him via c-section... I think I'm seeing a pattern?!

Sammy Poops curled up in front of the woodstove... he's been doing this alot lately.  I'm afraid my kitty may be getting a tad old at 14....



Anyhoo.....the chickens are averaging 18 eggs a day.  And we are now officially licensed to sell eggs...TADA!

Good luck in your recuperation, Big Pop!  We're praying for a speedy recovery....

Ya'll come back now, ya hear?!  Blessings...
