Aside from a Harvest of Gold meeting with Aunt Marcia first thing in the morning, today was pretty routine. Boys milked, Levi to Precision, school meetings, ASK came for lunch, Jacob rotor-tilled her garden, I walked with Beth and ASK, did emails, graded papers, got a tiny bit closer to being done with Our Family Circus (only a few more pictures to add…). Oh – haircuts for 5 boys in the afternoon – kind of fun turning shag-rags into respectable gentlemen again. After supper, Dad and I went outside to check on some hot-spot issues, like boats in the haymow, scrap metal everywhere, and a pigeon coop project that’s stalled out…and met up with a skunk in the barn. Actually Rascal took the worst of it – apparently in the face, if her muzzle-rubbing-in-the-grass, whining, face-pawing is any indication. We immediately locked her out of the garage (we thought we did anyway), but apparently she got in before we locked her out, because the garage is very odorous – so we’re hoping the smell doesn’t sneak into the house yet. Nasty stuff. Levi and Jesse helped Dad chase the critter out of the barn – hopefully it won’t be back. Nasty little thing. Inside for Bibletime and beds for all.
Oh – one thing I wanted to record from yesterday yet. Steve taught us about the letter I – how it’s so tall and straight, kind of a proud looking thing, as opposed to the letter C for Christ, which is the same straight line, but bent over – as we should be, in prayer and humility before God. Just an interesting observation and reminder.
That’s it.
