Under the Tapestry

Feb. 1, 2006 - First Blog Ever

Posted in General Chatter

Well, I took the plunge.  I've been thinking of blogging for awhile, but am sort of concerned about the time it might take.  So, I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

As a brief introduction, my dh and I live on a farm in the midwest where we raise grass-fed beef for retail sale, and have chickens for meat and eggs for ourselves.  We also grow a pretty substantial garden and I can quite a bit of the harvest.  We have 3 dc, referred to here as B12-7th grade, B10-5th grade and G8-3rd grade.  We are in our 7th year of homeschooling, and use an eclectic mix, but primarily are classical in our approach.  We just started using Tapestry of Grace this year, and are very happy with it.

I chose my blog title because I've always liked the image of God being the weaver of the tapestry of our lives, with us seeing the knotted, hazy picture on the underside.  Sometimes the design is clearer than others, but most often, as a section is being woven, it is just not possible to see where He's going with it.

For now, I must get busy directing our school day.  I hope to connect with some friends here, and meet some new along the way.

Well, congrats on joining the blogsphere! I just broke down and joined over the weekend myself. I grew up in the midwest, but have called Tennessee home for 12 years now. ~Betsy

I'm very glad to see that you're blogging. I love being able to keep up with everyone's lives this way.

I'd like to hear how TOG is working for your family. We'd considered switching to it, and I still think we may in a few years...for the hs years with the younger two.
Thanks for the MUS help..
