Starting the day off with a flat tire
This is how my morning began…
So I’m sitting on the side of the road waiting for what sounds like an eighteen year old to come change my tire. No, I’m not going to attempt it..
While I wait, I’ve got my thoughts on the upcoming fall semester and studies both at home and in our homeschool cooperative. We are having to make some sort-of last minute changes to teacher positions in our co-op so I’m working on that. I was told during my years as a USAF flight doc that a key to airpower is flexibility. Goodness knows, it’s certainly wise to be flexible while homeschooling. Minimizes the stress level.
I hope my little helper comes soon to change my tire. I’m starving!
The children’s flower garden
This week the kids and I began a flower garden just for them. They helped pick out the shrubs and flowers. They painted their own rocks to put in the bed. They added a flag and sculptures. Each day they are responsible for maintaining their garden by watering it and keeping the weeds out. I’d wanted to also try a small vegetable garden, but I opted out of that one. My fear is that the wild critters would simply eat anything we might be able to grow, so I felt like I was chancing that investment not to mention that’s probably more work for me instead of for them. We’ll just have to frequent the local farmer’s market.
