Sunshine, it's almost November and we still have no snow. Beautiful sunny days with only a little wind. A wonderful fall season.
Pork roasts. We are cleaning out the freezer and we have several pork roasts left, some ribs and tenderloin and bacon. Today's supper is a pork roast cooked for hours at a low temp. with applesauce, baked potatoes and green beans. I hope I can fully enjoy the tastes and savour them.
Sick days. Papa is home sick today and while I'm not happy that he's sick I am thankful he can take the day off and get better.
Sleeping children, schooling children. The oldest 4 kids are quietly doing school. The youngest 3 are all asleep in their beds. I love quiet time and I've missed it.
Our new woodshed. Papa fought his cold long enough to put the last little bit of tar paper on the woodshed roof this morning while the kids and I put the last of the 5 cords in it. We still have slabs and smaller rounds that need cutting up and brought in to the shed but the bulk of it is done.
And the one slightly 'off' one for today is.... I'm thankful for homeschooling. I truly love having my children at home 24/7 and love that I get to teach them but I get very annoyed and stressed with the supplemental work they are required by the government to do each term. Maybe someday I'll morph into a unrestricted teaching style but for now I'd better get up and get at it.
Have a great day ya'll :)
