Time DOES fly...all too quickly. Here it is November - I've not blogged for almost 3 months - and the holidays will be here in a blink. In talking with a friend today after church service, we both were sharing about how much "chauffering" it seems we do with the children. She told me that some days when her husband returns home from work and asks her what she did all day, she states matter of factly: "I drove"! How much time do you spend in your vehicle in a week's time? This past Wednesday I put 80 miles on my car. Praise the Lord that the fuel prices have maintained a steady downward descent! In addition to running hither and yon, we HAVE been busy with school at home. We are enjoying using Jeannie Fulbright's Exploring Creation with Zoology 1 with another home school family. Together we made ant habitats- and since doing that last Monday, my kids have been watching in awe as the busy, red ants move sand, make tunnels and even carry the dead bodies of some of their habitat mates - to where, I'm not sure. Mom (that's me) has gotten to be the official ant feeder, as no one else in the family seems to be brave enough to lift the cheese cloth cover and and drop the apple pieces in. It's been an interesting endeavor, and we have had fun watching the ants. I just pray that they don't get loose in the house. The mama deer and her twins have been frequent visitors to our home. One morning last week, they were camped out under our crab apple tree for the longest time. A four-point buck was with them (which is quite an unusual sight for daylight hours) and he appeared to be "standing guard" and not doing much eating. Soon the crab apples will be nothing but rotting mush in the lawn and on the drive, and I suspect we won't see our deer family so much. We'll look forward to more babies next Spring! Back to my lesson planning. More updates later. Happy Trails!
