Are you all going to start blogging again? Now that we have so much time on our hands? Ha, ha.
I'm loving, loving, loving having my family home around me. This is absolutely amazing. Almost magical. With a whole lot of real involved.
We're lucky people to have a large 'harvest' on our hands. Our shop is hopping busy, all hands on deck. So we truly are not going squirrelly together in our house. My men are being fed exotically, ((cough)) I mean, we're having a lot more fresh cookies and bread and buns than usual. I'm also spending an exorbitant amount of time in the shop answering phones for Pat so he can occasionally do some welding.
This week is officially spring break but the plan is to keep having school at home next week. Wyatt and I set up a neat little spot in the office. His desk is against the coffee table. We hung his school charts along the west wall close to the whiteboard. I write shop lists on the whiteboard, fill out the shop calendar and then I have the alphabet lined up neatly along the bottom. We also found a file shelf in storage and have it in the corner of my desk, one file for finished books, one file for spare-time projects and one file for tests and answer keys.
I have lists and lists of things I want to accomplish in the next while, lists that exist only in my head. We have books and books and books that we would like to read together. We have things to finish and fix and honey-do lists galore. We shall see. Yes, we shall see.
We've only had one day so far in which it appeared that some of us were quite and altogether housebound. That was on Sunday. But we went for a ripping drive in our pasture, where nary a soul is, usually. We saw a few people and quite easily kept on social-distancing.
Talking about social-distancing. My husband says he's been doing this all his life. Ha, ha. Me? Only sometimes.
What are you making for supper tonight?
What books are you currently reading?
What's on your to-do list?
What's on your fun project list?
If I have time, I hope to update often here.
Supper tonight: Fresh buns made into ranch burgers, veggies & dip, chips, fresh cookies
Books: Just finished reading A Spiderweb for Two by Elizabeth Enright - my family loved this series!

P.S. We're living a history lesson, am I right? I'm thinking about writing a Covid-19 diary.
