SL Core 100 (high school American History) Week 15"A"
April 29-May 5, 2018
Dh to Bologna, Italy
Hello Friends!
This week Dd was not feeling well; which really put a stopper on much academic progress. She came home Sat. after spending Fri. night with her girlfriends. She slept 4 hours. She normally sleeps around 9-10 hours, so she was asleep on the sofa after church on Sun.
Mon. began Dd's week of not feeling good. Our violin lesson was abruptly stopped with only 15 min. to go because she felt so bad. She was miserable. Luckily, she was still able to work on her math homework in bed. She was able to rally enough to go to all her other scheduled events for the week, but had a rough week. She didn't even get through half of her SL assignments.
Spring!
Tue. May 1st the GOLDFINCHES arrived! I just love the way they fly, as if they were going up and down hills in the air, so graceful! Fri., I saw the first HUMMINGBIRD!
I quickly put up four sugar water feeders for them and by Sat. I saw the birds throughout the day, both male and female. The signs of spring are everywhere--leaves are popping out, weeds are growing fast--which is great for the chickens!, bulbs are blooming, and hope abounds.

Garden:
The hoop houses are working really, really well!!!!
I wish we could have got our act together faster and started using these last year.
Some of our seeds sprouted by Wed. and Fri. it was warm enough to plant some early spring seeds in the regular raised-bed garden bed: lettuce, 3 different types of onions, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas.
Our blackberry bushes have planted themselves outside of their spot, so I decided to start a little spot in the yard just for them and begun the process of finding the wayward plants, digging them up and moving them to their new home.

Chickens:
The chickens are doing great. I've been getting them out in their tractors a few times a week.
I wish there was an easier way than having to pick up 2-3 birds, carrying them to the tractor and putting them in, load after load, but that is the only way I know how to do it.
They are just LOVING all the weeds and grass I pick for them!!!!!

Church and Friendship:
We are still loving our church, we've been there since Nov. 1st, 2015. The people there really have a wonderful way of welcoming new people in.
My only heartache is that everyone is so busy and involved in their own life and work that they don't have any time for deeper friendships.
I have been praying for God to put a friend in my life, someone I could call and chat with or invite over for a cup of tea, outside of our normal church activities.
With my mom's new move and my brother's upswing in problems, I sure could have used a good friend to share with and ask for prayer. There just isn't enough time at our church programs to share things that are so personal and close to the chest. Prayers Appreciated, Chelle and Christie! My best internet friends! Thanks for being such good friends all these years; I only wish I could chat with you both in person! And I thank you for praying along with me.

Dh to Bologna, Italy
Dh's LAST trip to Bologna! Dh's work needed a special machine built and Dh has gone over to Bologna to help out in the process. This was the last trip, and six other staff went along for training. They went a day early, to adjust to the time change, and spent that day in Venice! We have gone there before Dd was born. Just like our visit, Venice was once again VERY crowded and hot! I'm so glad he gets to go and have wonderful adventures; just wish the tickets were not so expensive that I couldn't go along!
Another Sleep-Over:
As if last week's sleep-over wasn't bad enough, Dd had another one this week. Addy's birthday party and sleep over was Fri. night. I dropped Dd off at the Home School Building for her Grace classes and then dropped Dh off at the airport, Fri. night was a bit quiet!

| I've surrounded the wire fence with our old backyard wooden fencing sections to give the coop double or triple security. They are fairly safe. |
