2011 Graduation

Friday night, my sisters and I were thrilled to have the chance of playing for our homeschool covering's graduation. It was a wonderful chance to play for our church, to see our friends, and learn some more music. Rachel and I are in the back as we played 2nd violin. Erin and Emily had 1st with Timothy. His mom accompanied us on piano!

We really had a great time and got to wear all black. With a long black skirt with a black skirt, we felt like professionals! A fun feeling to have for a night!

Music Loving Family x 10

Ours is probably one of the few places you can hear; Irish Washerwoman, Bach's Third Cello Suite (on the piano), Red Haired Boy, and Amazing Grace going at the same time. Oh, and Erin likes to throw Row Row your Boat in.

Music is fun, pretty, but sometimes a little annoying!!! :)

Respect and Thought

These two characteristics are lacking on today's culture. Especially where the elderly are concerned.

Yesterday we all went to my great-grandmother's and spent about a hour cleaning her yard up... we raked, picked up sticks and trimmed. That was it, but it meant so much to her.

From a young age we have been instilled with the desire to respect the elderly around us. They are still humans and without them we wouldn't have the heritage we have.

Once in a blue moon...

Have you ever heard that saying and wondered, "What in the world does that mean?"

I know I have!! I wonder when I read it in a book and when I hear people say it.

Well last night was not only a full moon, it was a blue moon. Now, what is a blue moon?

A couple of things it is NOT:

1. It is NOT blue

2. It has NOTHING to do with being the last moon of the year

Instaed, it is when we have TWO full moons in the same month!!

How cool is that?

Note: This photo was taken by Oldest Sister. It was NOT taken last night, but we did not get any good shots last night... hence this photo!

Preparing the garden...

As fall draws to a close and the days get colder and colder the garden dies back. Slow at first then faster, till nothing is left. Where your tall green plants where but a short time before there is merely soil. Dirt. Nothing. But beneath the crust of the cold soil, it is not quite as dead as you think. Of course the plants are dead, but the earthworms, the bugs, and the bacteria are alive and happy. They need food and warmth. The are decomposing your dead tomato plants and any other substance they find. To work with them to enrich your garden before spring follow some basic steps...
