We are currently three weeks ahead with our proposed literature/Church History schedule for books to study/read and Daisy has completed one of her English courses, Essentials in Literature, for this year, and has a few weeks worth of work left to complete on the other one, Essentials in Writing.
Jay is taking a much slower pace with Te Kura (NCEA) based subjects than we had imagined at the beginning of the year due to other educational irons, of his own interest, he has in the fire.
I'm not going to talk much about Te Kura based NCEA courses until we've completed our journey; however, I will say we've been tempted to ditch the whole NCEA, credit collecting, process for Jay a time or two :-P
And as promised, in a previous post, a few pictures of our nosy cows. Whatever we're doing they want to see or, worse, be involved in it.

| Ringside seat. The neighbours steers rush to the fence to see what we're doing |

| The electric fence is the only thing keeping our calves from getting VERY close. L. Mozart, R.Mocha |

| L. Beethoven, R. Bach. Yes, all our cattle have names. |

LOVED seeing your cows!!!! The landscape is also so beautiful! Wow! I love seeing the Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes entries---two of my most favorites!! Thanks for sharing your cows with me! It is always such a treat to peek into your world! Praying for you, friend! Hope all is going well with your busy endeavors! Sending you a hug from rainy, gray Michigan!
Those cows would love to SEE you (IRL) too Tracy - up as close as they could get. Thank you. This is the spot we are building our home in. It's so peaceful. Kindred spirits with who-dunnit authors (yay). I love the glimpses into your world too - Michigan is so different to where we live... even your caterpillars (garden pests) look different Thank you for praying for us; much appreciated. Please know we are praying for you too (hug). TTFN XX
