Catching Up in Blog land

I haven't posted here in forever, my excuse .... life has been busy! Yeah, I know that excuse is worn thin but it does apply.

So what have I been doing?

Well in February we had the wedding! Our oldest son married a wonderful young lady whom we all love dearly. We also became the owners of two rather wild mustang horses. They had been adopted by someone who found themselves no longer able to afford the feed bill and so they were free to a good home. We spent endless hours trying to gentle them down ourselves and finally decided to enlist some professional help. One horse will be coming back from the trainer soon and hopefully come next spring we will have a colt.

Then in March we had some wonderful spring weather that resulted in major cases of spring fever.

April .... brought a return to colder weather and desperate attempts to get back on track with school.

May brought an abundance of rain. Last week alone we had 6.5 inches at my house. Hopefully that will help all the flowers I planted grow. I also attended our state's homeschool convention which provided some great speakers and a chance for me to decide on next year's curriculum.

I have been getting to read, averaging about 9 books a month. During our oh so short summer break I hope to increase that number.
