Moments in Nature

MOMENT #1
Inspired by reading the blog of a friend of mine, (hers was simply entitled "Green") I took a look out my window and noticed that I too, am currently surrounded by 'Green.' I had to sit for a moment and remember the days, that seem oh, so long ago, when we were surrounded by white, and once again, reflected on the faithfulness of God, and marveled at the changing seasons.




MOMENT #2
This morning I was out weeding the flower beds, and enjoyed listening to God's MP3 player, as mine appears to have stopped working. Today he had loaded for me the following songs:
Bullfrogs in the Pond; The Neighbour's Donkey Bray; The Bees' Bumble; The Hummingbird's Dance; The Birds Upon the Treetops; The Wind in the Maples; and the beat of the sun on my back.

This is My Father's World!

I Suppose...

...when your last field trip was to the Medieval Festival and you saw a lot of this....

































...you just have to expect that one day you will go outside and witness this...

Year End Celebration

Our home school group had a year end/graduation party at the beginning of June. It was a wonderful afternoon to celebrate everyone, and especially the graduates.

The children were all encouraged to bring along something that they had done, made, or studied during the past year. There were many projects, bug collections, lego creations, and even a hand carved chess set. Brent had been reading a book on science tricks and decided he wanted to do a magic show. We researched and experimented with quite a number until we finally settled on 3 that he was able to perform without fail.

When the MC called out that it was his turn he jumped up, pumped his arm and whisper-shouted "YES!" He was made for the stage. Not an ounce of fear. (I was a nervous wreck!)

He made a salt shaker disappear, read the mind of a graduate, and made an egg go into a bottle. Next time you see him ask him to show you!
