Happy Birthday Dillon!

Dillon Turned 20! WHOO HOO! Happy Birthday Dude!  Age-inappropriate Cake! Yum! Do TRY this ice cream! Pie Lovin’ Good! __________________  We has such a blast the house looks like a clothes-cardboard-tool-dish bomb went off inside! We ate cake, ice cream and pizza all weekend.

You will actually feel smarter when you...

CU Make A Chain

  Storm Clouds are forming over my house, so I told myself to stop mowing the lawn and get my rear inside and post these products for you all. If you’re reading this think rain for us…my garden would sure appreciate it. I would also enjoy not hauling hose for a few days. So with a cut but not raked lawn I am here with bells on, but before we get to the chains, can I show you this little wonder that wandered up to Nathan in the Wal-mart parking lot 2 Thursdays ago? I didn’t show...

Emily Dickinson: Narrow Fellow

Emily Dickinson: Narrow Fellow

  Wrapped up our schooling today with a narration of Emily Dickinson and read a handful of her many poems. Dillon picked out this one, noting how clever Dickinson was to weave riddles into her descriptions. We have been studying poets in our Great Writers Series. A narrow fellow in the grass Occasionally rides; You may have met him,–did you not, His notice sudden is. The grass divides as with a comb, A spotted shaft is seen; And then it closes at your feet And opens further on. He likes...

Just the kind of day we love, soft rain, sleepy dogs, quiet music playing, ( Moody Blues, Doors, Sting, Bread) one could fall asleep standing up its one zen moment after another.  Ahhh! I planned so much food for the 4th of July celebration that we had to start it last night! Grilled Bratwurst on wheat buns, potato salad, Sliced Watermelon, Rhubarb Pie. Today Grilled Pork Steaks, Apple Pie, Sweet Potato Fries....

French Country

Howdy! Kim B. Designs has these great bits for the DSO pick your bits, themed “French Country” This is what I made, digging out some old pictures of my Dad.

Anna Shong was a kindly woman, much misunderstood. She taught me how to cook “boiled dinner” after my mother died.  Always had a Beautiful Garden. See all...
