Most people don’t realize it, but donkeys are highly intelligent. Our little BLM rescue burro is a perfect example of that.
She might not look especially bright at first glance…
…but she is. That docile donkey demeanor is all an act.
For one thing, Tilly loves to read, and reads almost every day during her “morning siesta”.
Her favorite books are about farm [...]

This past week has been a blur…
One of our next door neighbors was out of town for 10 days, and her husband, who had a severe stroke just over a year ago, spent part of almost every day that she was gone with us. He hasn’t recovered fully from his stroke and still needs a little [...]

As the weather has gotten cooler, I’ve been picking up my knitting again after letting most of it lay around for the summer.
I’m not a great knitter. I’m pretty much stuck at the beginner stage… but I like it.

As the days get colder and shorter, I find myself cocooning a bit… appreciating home, and wanting to just snuggle in and hibernate a bit.
Shorter days also mean doing the morning and evening barn work in the dark and semi-dark.

I finally have a few minutes to post some pictures of the kid’s Election Day lapbooks. I think they turned out well, and the kids definitely learned a lot from the unit study.
It’s been a busy week. K, the youngest of our birth children turned 21 (yikes!) so we drove up to see her on [...]

Last night we had our first frost of the year…
No, I don’t have any pictures of everything coated with frost. While it was still frosty outside, it was too cold to go outside and take pictures and once it warmed up…..well… the frost was gone.
My brain is tired… I’m talking stupid… maybe if I post lots [...]

Yesterday was a good day… Not only did M have a calm, settled day, I (we) had the opportunity to get some expert feedback about his meds, and do some educating about homeschooling at the same time.
I was happy dancing by evening…
Here’s why… It starts back 5-6 years ago, when M had been diagnosed with sz for a couple [...]

I’ve been blogging for more than three years now…. My sister got me started and my first blog was on xanga. After bouncing around a little I ended up here on homeschool journal and it’s been a good fit.
Recently, though, I gave a lot of thought to closing this blog. As I tried to decide what [...]
