Still hot. Otherwise a routine (love that word) school day. For the first time I feel like I’m getting caught up on things since we started school. No tomatoes waiting (well, only a few anyway), the few apples left on the tree aren’t quite ready yet, it’s too hot to dry apples in the dehydrator, I have all the school prep done for the year (at least for now anyway), and I even gave 2 piano lessons and took a walk today. Whew. I’m not quite sure how that happened, especially since Joshua had fever on and off again all day too. Overnight wasn’t the best – he was up quite a bit; he slept fitfully which meant I did too. Anyway. Boys milked twice, and Levi took Jesse to Uncle Randy’s in between. Jesse was spraying hog buildings and spread manure some too. Levi was home in between studying. After school was done, Kate and Tori made bread and bars, and I helped with k.p. and then took a walk. Read to littles awhile. Returned emails, and even put some recipes on the computer for the Harvest of Gold cookbook. After supper, Dad and I took a brisk walk – I can hardly keep up with him sometimes but that’s good. Home to find the boys here eating supper, and pjs for all followed by Bibletime and beds. Dad read in Proverbs 16 – there is so much to ponder in Proverbs we can’t possibly talk about it all. Tonight’s focus was on the verse that talks about much revenue without righteousness versus little revenue with righteousness. (Can’t quote it but that’s the gist.) It was a good discussion that reinforced the importance of eternal things versus earthly gain. Finally put littles to bed so they can get up tomorrow; bigs did evening chores, read awhile, now heading to beds too.
Good night.
Interesting about Joshua...starting last night, Nora has had fever on and off all day, too. Is there something going around?
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of anything - hope Nora is better soon.
