Our Week Ahead ~ Monday 29 February 2016

Our weather last week was rather hot and draining, which can make academic lessons have that slightly sluggish undertone once the mid afternoon heat kicks into full gear; so, we're switching anything that requires brain power to morning time this week and leaving reading and delight led subjects until after lunch.

Hello Chelle,
It was lovely to see that Winslow Homer in your post; I love that one! I know what you mean about hot weather dimming our energy towards lessons sometimes; we get that too. I don't know that hymn---I'm going to have to follow it on and see if I remember it by listening to it. Sometimes I think I don't know one, and then when it is played, it clicks!

I'd love to hear how your critters are doing. I was cleaning our snails' container last week and took a photo to post on my blog to show you how they are coming along--how is (Mango?) doing? Is her name 'Mango?'

Obviously I need to send you an email as I keep coming up with question after question!

Much love to you! Wish you could come over for a real visit! Your invited! any time!!!
