Matthew 6:34So don't worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Come on in, Sit down, rest a spell!  My lovely neighbor gave me this chair.  It was her grandmother's carriage or wagon chair.  She called it a half-chair to put in their carriage or wagon or around the fireplace.  Isn't it delicious!  She also gave me the handmade broom up on the hearth.  Her grandmother or Aunts made that at one time.  She had so many that she remembers being used on the farm and was gracious and sweet to give one to our family. 

Happy Friday to Everyone!  We were busy this last week putting up green beans!  We put up around 8 gallons--large family--large freezer bags to freeze the beans!  I was going to can them, but I decided just to freeze this batch!  We've been blessed with rain and so our beans and corn and pumpkins are growing well.  The tomatoes have just about fizzled out, but the peppers are still doing well.  I hope to be like the jalepeno pepper plant--through all sorts of adversity it just keeps on producing and surviving!!  Despite the heat, lack of rain, even soil that isn't the best, it just keeps plugging along like a faithful servant!  

We finished our second week of school and the kids made the Arc de Triomphe as part of their studies about the French Revolution & Napoleon's Rule.  We are  making it through Tapestry of Grace!!  It just takes a couple weeks to pull it all together!  The little ones are enjoying preschool!  That seems to be the key--balancing preschool and high school/jr. high.  Oh my!! 

Our homeschool co-op started today and we had so many families and eager children!  Our Living History Class that I'm teaching went very well.  The children learned about Ancient Japan today focusing on geography.  We then made a 3d map of the Islands with plaster of paris!  It was a creative mess!  Cool though!

We are waiting for Hurricane/tropical Storm Hannah.  I believe she won't be very fierce, but we're praying for safety for all near the coast!  We are about 2 hours from the coast so we should be fine..the biggest threat is downed trees and with so many pine trees it's a definite possibility. 

More pics of our co-op coming soon!  Blessings to all!!
