Boo helping to drive a tractor with disk harrow.

And it was a Monday, with reluctant students for most of the morning.  Why is it that bad attitudes prevail at the end of the year?  Still, we got today's work done in the end.

I then proceeded to update my pantry inventory, and make a shopping list.  We headed out fairly early in the afternoon to accomplish our list of errands.  These included shopping at several stores, and getting passport photos.  We ended up eating out, as we had decided that grocery shopping on empty stomachs was not a good idea.

Summer seems to have started, with temperatures in the upper eighties today.  That should help the garden grow!  Shopping was very warm!  I am looking forward to staying inside most of tomorrow--aside from a doctor appointment in the morning--and getting the air-conditioners put back in the kid's bedroom windows.  At the moment a fan sits in the hallway, blowing and hopefully cooling down the bedrooms a bit.  It is still reasonably cool where I sit in the dining room downstairs.

With the approach of summer seems to come a time of intense busyness.  As lessons wind down, the projects loom.  I'll need to sort and put away finished curriculum, organizing what I want to keep.  I want to tackle clutter and do some much needed cleaning/dusting/de-cobwebbing around the house.  I want to sew more--maybe make a skirt for myself and a dress or two for Belle.

I did accomplish two projects at the end of last week.  I made a skirt for Belle, and deep-cleaned the kitchen.  I am hoping that the end of this week will be equally productive.  I say the end of the week because the beginning is full of things like laundry, church cleaning, errand running etc.

Then there is the list of want-to-dos:  Working with my photo software, doing more with pictures, finishing a cross-stitch project, sorting boxes of stuff in the garage. Ahhh, the list goes on.
