FOR TODAY
Looking out my window… the sunshine is breaking through the clouds and there’s a new layer of snow on the ground. We’re definitely enjoying the longer daylight hours. What a difference it makes having it already light out when getting up in the morning.
I am thinking… how different weather can be from one year to the next. At this time last year, the snow was almost gone and the kids were splashing in puddles. This year we still have quite a bit of snow left and although we’re getting a good number of days of temps above freezing, there are just as many that are still on the cold side.
I am thankful… God’s sovereignty.
I am creating finished… my cross-stitch nativity figures. It’s taken 15-16 (?) years; I honestly don’t remember exactly when I started working on this project. I usually rediscovered it around Christmas time and worked on it for a few months before setting it aside in favor of other projects. This year when I pulled it out to work on I realized there was only one figure left to cross-stitch. So, I determined to finally finish it and didn’t put it aside when the holiday season was over.
I am hearing… 2:30 – water dripping off the roof and the boys riding the snowmachine (have the front door open to air things out).
In the schoolroom… being homeschoolers means the bulk of our schooling hasn’t changed any due to Covid19 restrictions. There are changes though, like no STEM classes for Ben or Paper Circuitry/Robotics classes for Caleb. Lydia’s special ed teacher is checking in with her via computer and Matthew will be doing his ETT Trek class and Spanish tutoring on the computer as well.
Around the house… Scott got the storage room cleaned up and a couple tables set up for the older kids to work on their Craftsman crates and other crafts.
A moment from my life…
