Homestead check-in

2014 egg count: 39

(keeping track of eggs coming in is harder than it sounds!)

I will snap some pictures of my winter plants soon, they are doing wonderfully--especially my beets!! Can't wait to plant next month.

Happening around our house:

 Daniel's Star Wars bend on the famous Hamlet-Yorek scene:
"Hey Mom, remember that famous scene  from Hamlet where he's talking to the skull?"
Up next: The Complete Works of Shakespeare, as enacted through Star Wars action figures (and Barbies)

 I picked up some modeling clay for my budding artist Mallory; she proceeded to construct the solar system on this cardboard, complete with...oh man, she told me, some science-y thing like the a Nebula? Asteroid belt? Milky Way galaxy? I'll ask her and then come add it here. She and her dad spend a lot of time studying space and naming things, looking them up and then finding them outside with our telescope. I think its pretty impressive the the planets are all lined up from the sun the right way. She picked planet valentines this year, too. Apparently we are on a space-kick. Does that make us spaced out? :)

My new CDs, to replace ones stolen or lost in years past, and to play in my car during the ride to work. I know, CDs are a bit archaic, but my Ipod story is complicated, and while I'm waiting to see if it will be fixed, if it can be fixed, or if I am going to buy a new one, I wanted some music.

A parting thought:
What is the difference between our will and God's will?

Answer:
The Results.

Blessings!
