New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

Dry?? Well, it could be either the rodents or the bigger birds. Grackles, bluejays, and starlings will eat the dry stuff, and the smaller birds will pick up the crumbs.
We ordered some pizza, if'n ya wanna come over and partake of it with us and the company.
All right if I come share the shade for a bit?
I couldn't tell if you guys had company or not...and I feel like an idiot peering through the woods trying to see if there's an extra vehicle. ;-)
Oh! Beat me to it...
Sure - I'd like to see everyone!
Fair warning...the moron wants to come.
Have you been to see Superman yet?
Dont' pay more than matinee, mmmkay?
It had it's good points, but... then there were all the bad points.
Ahem...
Pictures??
Clevahh! I'll have to pass that along to my Classical Ed. group.
Public school teachers?
*Tapping foot impatiently*
Okay...we've got clouds and my weatherglass is spouting.
*Tap, tap, tap*
Where's muh rain?!
The rain will come its own time.
We took gypsygirl for her walk around downtown and headed past the Amtrack Station and noticed a young (20's something) couple strolling in the park.
Just about the time we were to pass them, the fella drops to one knee (I thought he dropped his car keys) and then he takes the young woman's hand in his and (according to LSA's excellent eyesight) slipped a ring on her finger.
LSA figured it out quicker than I did; (I thought he needed a hand getting up) so we stopped and we heard the last part, "well, come on, a bit louder" so she says YES.
We congratulated them and wished them well. Gypsy was hearing fireworks and recalled her home was over thataway so we all parted ways.
Them, to continue their stroll, us to get gypsy home since she was in full Balto mode. Always something happening in the shire, it seems.
Awwww.....ain't that sweet?
I want to know if my gutters still work or if I have to snake out the downspout.
Well, looks like we may get the rain, lots showing on radar. I've tested gutters using a garden hose. With luck, you won't have to do.
Heh...I didn't want to waste the water...
Naw, I'm thinking private "curriculum selling" websites. They can sell stuff for 3/4 of new, but Ebay undercuts them when I'm buying stuff for 1/3 of new including shipping!
I'm betting places like the website that email is promoting goes in and sabatoges people's Ebay auctions by "reporting" them. That makes people think Ebay has something against homeschoolers (victim complex) and they have no choice but go to the other (namely their) websites.
I find this sentence appalling!
"It is to our best interest as homeschoolers to have 2 or 3 really good sources we can turn to for our used curriculum after all the local book sales are over and we still do not have everything we need."
It's un-American, I tell ya!
The thing smacks of manipulation. They're trying to scare people.
I may be wrong, but I bet you dollars to donuts that the Ebay auctions that are being shut down are being shut down because they're being reported by private used-curriculum brokers who don't want that business going to Ebay.
Horsie rides on Bay man :~D
Back through the back 40 with Becky - She likes the trees. She said the cool thing about Washington is in the shade it's actually cooler :~D
I think Alyson really got the biggest kick out of riding.
Then the best idea of the afternoon was born, some Rupe Goldberg swings made from my circingle (a horse thing) an extra cinch, and our high line ties for the horses. :~)
This swing was cool because it would spin like a tire swing.
And then swing verson 2.0 - the cinch hung from two high lines...
Ruthy looks on... she neither rode nor swung... not sure how that worked out, maybe next time :~)
I love Homer sittin' there with Ruthy!! LOL!!
Lovely Lovely pictures!
I'm so glad I sneaked in to check!
