A good day for some quiet musing…<\/p>\n
while I listen to some Irish ballads, trying to learn the tunes so I can play and sing a little bit on Friday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
while the great galoot runs around the house, looking in the windows, hoping I will forget it’s raining and come play outside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
while the trees sway, now gently, now vigorously, shedding the rain from their strong branches and needles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
while the laundry dries and the kitchen waits for a quick clean-up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I am motivated to work on some garb for the children, might do some research into that later this evening; for now, I think I will sort through a few more items in boxes, trying to minimize the clutter and maximize the usefulness of what I keep.<\/p>\n
G and I are reading good books about Merlin by T.A. Barron. The Lost Years of Merlin<\/em> is the name of the series, and I highly recommend it for a reading level of about 5th-6th grade and up. Younger children might enjoy having it read aloud, although some of the parts are full of suspense and sad I believe they are no worse than C.S. Lewis’ Narnia<\/em> series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
