Nesting...
|
I do love this time of year! Is there one I really detest?? The Spring storms scare me to death, but not the Spring. Appropriately enough, this year Spring finds me packing up one nest and moving to another. (Minus one chick) The new nest helps take my mind off the lack of that one. That little chick helped raise the other five, as I recall. Though she is absent, her spirit certainly remains! So much to do around here - inside and out! I remember the first visit after the old family moved out. Me and my daughter arrived with pencils and measuring tape. We wrote down the measurements of each window and sketched a layout of the house. Next, I walked through the empty rooms with planner and pen. I made a list of every piece of furniture we had and noted where each would be placed. I did the same with each cabinet, drawer and closet - writing what things were going to go in them. When the moving boxes arrived it made things much easier. Once everything was in place, I could start hanging our pictures and decorating. I finished the decorating about two weeks ago. Last week, I updated my M.O.T.H. schedule, the children's chore lists, and organized all the school books: K4 through 12th grade. And now that I feel like I have homeschooling back in control, I can finally concentrate on making the house truly a home. Getting back to doing those little things that we love. A little gardening, a little sewing, baking up aromas that beckon visitors... Reading before bed to the sound of the crickets outside my window and writing in the early hours before dawn to the songs of the morning birds. Yes, things have finally slowed back down. At least until tomorrow, |
